i picked you

I Picked You

When it was my turn to leave heaven

And God said to me "go pick,

It's time for you to find your Father

Make sure it's one who'll stick

You need a Dad who'll help you grow,

A Dad who'll teach you right

You need a Dad that you can love

And who'll love you right on sight.

Pick a Dad that you can trust

A Dad that's good through and through"

I looked all over heaven that day

And of course, I picked YOU!

The time came later when I grew up

And then became a wife

And what do you know I earned a gift

A SECOND Dad for life!

When the choosing fell on me again,

I picked one that was strong and true

A man I was proud to know

As father-in-law I picked YOU

Another choice then fell on me

The easiest in the world

To make a family, make YOU a Dad

So we had a little girl

You were just so good at being Dad

And watching you brought me such joy

We added to your fatherhood

With a darling baby boy!

I've been too lucky in picking Dad's

They've given their love, so true!

What a blessing in life it's been

That for Father, "I picked you"

Bare with me, I realized today,

I don't have many pictures of my Dad.

Or my father-in-law

...or Jordan with the kids.

Must be a Dad thing?

And also it's been a LONG time since I've written anything,

So I am VERY rusty.

But you get the message.

And you'll love me anyway right?

:-)

And here is some proof that Jordan has actually changed a diaper! ;-)

Happy Father's Day!
