~ Gun It Dad ~

Power it Dad, gun the gears
As we watch you go,
Right from the starting line
You sure control the road.

Let her rip, give her throttle
Tear up the burning rubber,
Pedal to the metal
Lead foot it on the double.

Hug the corners, drive the straights
Gun it more to hold the lead,
You've got what it takes
To travel at high speed.

For being the greatest father
You surely can succeed,
My admiration today and always
I want you to receive.

I talk and talk and talk, and I haven't taught people in 50 years
what my father taught by example in one week.
- Mario Cuomo

It's only when you grow up, and step back from him,
or leave him for your own career and your own home--
it's only then that you measure his greatness and fully appreciate it
Pride reinforces love.
Margaret Truman
