Here’s to Dad

Here’s to Dad for bringing us rats,
squirrels and pigeons too.

Here’s to Dad for swooping above
and keeping us safe from balloons.

Here’s to Dad for vertical take-offs,
for landings in any condition.

Here’s to Dad for hunting so well
it seems like he’s a magician.

Here’s to Dad for standing guard
on the church across the way.

Here’s to Dad for just being there.
Happy Father’s Day.
