happy birthday daddy.

i miss you more and more everyday.
i would give anything to give you one more hug,
to hear one more of your stupid jokes,
to listen to one more of your lectures,
to go on one more of your long "shortcuts",
to go fishing with you one more time,
to go on one more job site with you,
to eat your delicious cooking one more time,
to hear your voice one last time.

i love you daddy.
i know you're in a happier place watching over all of us.



Fisherman's Prayer
_____________________

God grant that I may live to fish,
until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray,
When in the Lord's safe landing net,
I'm peacefully asleep,
That in his mercy I be judged,
As big enough to keep.
