My First
Lessons from My Father
The first man that held me in his arms was you
You were the first man to ever kiss my cheek ever so gently
The pet name that I carry to this day was given by you
You were the first man to have tea with me and pull out my chair
I learned from you that doors should be opened for ladies by gentlemen like you
My first experience of a man truly loving a woman was given to me by you as you truly loved your wife-my mother
Each day I thank our Father for giving me you-my father
Happy Fathers Day!
