Father's Day 2007

Down a pipe-stem drive in Fairfax Station
Lives the greatest of all the dads in the nation
He’s the man with sporadic gray hair up on top
That awesome, bespectacled man is our pop
Also known in some circles as the technical guru
Knowing it all from Spock to Sulu
For defragging computers he has a keen eye
Plus Quadratic equations, square roots and pi
Charming and witty, a man of good looks
Sometimes confused with that singer Garth Brooks
He has many talents, none can compare
Especially in a game we like to call Bear
It’s a sporting event that’s more than a race
A little bit of wrestling, and a lot more of chase
We think that he’s swell and even quite nifty
Even if he won’t buy us an X-Box 360
But that doesn’t matter, we really don’t care
We’re happiest climbing on him or his chair.
From the places he’s been to the people he’s met
He leads us by the example he’s set
By being a man who is true to his word
We know what to do ‘cause we’ve seen and we’ve heard.
He’s taught us a lot of things along the way
Most important of all we’ve watched him pray
A man who’s seeking after God’s heart
Isn’t that the most important part?
We thank him for being the great guy that he is
And having the privilege of being his kids!
