A firm foundation<br />Through all our storms of life<br />A sturdy hand to hold to<br />In times of stress and strife.<br /><br />A true friend we can turn to<br />When times are good or bad<br />One of our greatest blessings,<br />The man that we call Dad.<br />Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,<br />Merely one of the surging crowd,<br />Toiling, striving from day to day,<br />Facing whatever may come his way,<br />Silent whenever the harsh condemn,<br />And bearing it all for the love of them.<br /><br />Only a dad but he gives his all,<br />To smooth the way for his children small,<br />Doing with courage stern and grim<br />The deeds that his father did for him.<br />This is the line that for him I pen:<br />Only a dad, but the best of men.<br />We thought of you with love today,<br />But that is nothing new.<br />We thought about you yesterday.<br />And days before that too.<br /><br />We think of you in silence.<br />We often speak your name.<br />Now all we have is memories.<br />And your picture in a frame.<br /><br />Your memory is our keepsake.<br />With which we’ll never part.<br />God has you in his keeping.<br />We have you in our heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726943.post-81675242381808170042009-09-11T07:19:52.267+01:002009-09-11T07:19:52.267+01:00Feel better, Todd!

I just discovered this recently. And my condolences on your dad. I'm a terrible one for keeping in touch...with others, with reality, with "the pace," etc. <br /><br />Cheers!William Kecklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492547054986452311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726943.post-85836381467428416552009-09-10T18:21:00.217+01:002009-09-10T18:21:00.217+01:00Same here, Todd.Same here, Todd.Jeffrey Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16735826917584494107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726943.post-14281661971038840252009-09-10T17:45:32.823+01:002009-09-10T17:45:32.823+01:00Well, much as I don't think much of religion. ...Well, much as I don't think much of religion. I do think a great deal of spirit/spiritualism (unattached to any certainty in the beyond, benign or malignant. <br />That said, Todd, I think you will pull through what you are going through. I truly and strongly hope you do.<br />Also, you have a great inspiration in your father. I hope you can live as long, or much much longer, than he did, and accomplish much more than you have so far. <br />Sorry for being a bit ranty in my last comment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907060405795620941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726943.post-66592438120811274002009-09-10T12:25:12.494+01:002009-09-10T12:25:12.494+01:00Dear Todd

Nor does it imply the destruction of mystery, either in our experience of things around us, or in our persistent inquiries into matter and origin. If anything, religion makes simplistic claims, and acts as an arrogant authority figure, telling us how it always was and always shall be, and how if we even try to find any other explanation, then we are going to hell for it. <br />By the time I die, I hope "faith-based" government (the government taking my tax dollars and giving them to some godawful organization to do god-knows-what with) will be ancient...history.
