Dad's Birthday

Dad ~
Some of my feelings are so disconnected
Some parts are total love
Some parts are just so painful
And others are just so.
The hardest challenge I think are the emotions that I’m going through.  More painful than anyone can imagine.
Maybe because I have to be tough love with a man that has been,
Independent
In control
An Entrepreneur
A self made man
A Husband
A Father
And always called “The Chief”.
Known to everyone as “The Chief”
traveled the world from California to Spain,
the Castles of Sweden were never the same.
A Bad Boy from Boston that lived on the streets
He learned the hard knocks from Phantoms & Thieves.
Always keeping his charisma discreet.
Allowing only the fools to defeat.
The wisdom of the world right at his feet.
A lawyer in the courtroom was his smiling defeat.
A keen inspiration for his knowledge of words.
The pen to the paper were his finest rewards.
A blue-eyed and sexy man that never seemed to age, kept every person always thinking ‘what exactly is this man thinking’.  A calm, cool and collected person, seemingly like a sly fox.   A Dreamer of many, a Wise One with a charm.  The wishes for many to be as gifted as he.
The seeds of his gifts were planted in his four children.
The positive and the negative
Passion and energy
As you go and grow through life,
Each and everyone will see
You have to go to the center
Of the true meaning of glee.
It’s only in the balance of life that you learn
There is only one gift and that is to grow
For good and bad, happy and sad, just know it’s the center of the core that you should strive for.  Each and every chosen one will know what your gifts are.  As you experience your life you will see, we are all apples from the same tree.
I am grateful for the gifts both my parents have given me, as I journey through life with this wisdom and knowledge.  I ask God to protect me, my family, and my husband who I dearly love with health, harmony and happiness.
The bumps in the road are truly sincere . Each and every one of them must be felt to endear.  Surround each other with love, for that is free. You will understand that there is nothing more ~ just Love!
With Gratitude and Love,
Your Daughter ~ Meg
