NOT JUST ANY DAD

A Dad so heroic he received a medal of commendation

A Dad with a will so strong, not to be touched by the sexual

revolution.

A Dad so stable not to want to be a hippie like all the rest.

A Dad with a heart so big it goes beyond saving the whales, its helping

to save souls.

A Dad so proud to walk down the isle and lovingly give his

daughters away.

A Dad so wonderful, not just any dad, this dad is my dad.
