What I would have said to my father this morning, on his 83rd birthday


In honor of your birthday, Daddy
I sing this song for you

"Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace...
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
Where there is sadness, joy
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled, as to console
to be understood, as to understand
to be loved, as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in dying, that we are born
to eternal life"

The Prayer of St. Francis



Our last Father's Day, 2014
Don W. Greathouse, 11/12/34 - 1/7/15 RIP
