Today is Monday, June 19th, 2023; Karen's Korner #4891

For Father's Day, yesterday's church worship leader Chris Carpenter started off the day with two 'dad's day' poems:

SILENT. STRONG DAD
By Karen Boyer

"He never looks for praises.
He's never one to boast.
He just goes on quietly working.
For those he loves the most.

His dreams are seldom spoken.
His wants are very few.
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken, too.

He's there...a firm foundation
Through all our storms of life,
A sturdy hand to hold onto
In times of stress and strife.

A true friend we can turn to
When times are good or bad.
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we call Dad."

**

"Star Dad"
By Karl Fuse

"I love you, Dad,
and want you to know
I feel your love
wherever I go.

Whenever I've problems,
you're there to assist.
The ways you have helped me
would make quite a list.

Your wisdom and knowledge
have shown me the way
And I'm thankful for you 
as I live day by day.

I don't tell you enough
how important you are.
In my universe
you're a bright shining star."
