Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to our Dad, our husbands, and to our Daddy & Daddy-to-be readers!  Although it's a Sunday, we decided to post a poem for all the Fathers & Fathers-to-be out there.  Enjoy your special day with your family and close friends, you deserve it!

Happy Father's Day
"Happy Father's Day" means more than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things we never get to say.
It means we love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to us,
And that we honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means that we are thinking of...
Your happiness on this, your day,
with pleasure and with love.
