Dearest Father,
with adoration and respect I look up to you,
as a symbol of strength and as a figure of idol.
How your son idolizes you, and finds strength and encouragement in you.
I find strength in your strength,
Rigidity and confidence in your confidence,
Direction in your words and in your view.
There are many a son that do not listen to their fathers,
many sons who digress from the words of wisdom from their father.
But, I do not count myself in their lot.
For I bless you, my father.
For your strength is a blessing upon mine.
I count the words of Sirach Chapter 3.
For a father's blessing is a blessing upon his son.
And his righteousness a light unto his progeny.
My beloved Father.
Engineer. Medical Provider.
With the strength of your arms, you directed and built highways, ordered the repair of bridges,
commanded the building of super highways, or ordered the demolishing of unstable buildings.
With your hand, you direct hundreds of construction workers. With a single word, you control the progress of highways.
Not just in the work place. But also in the household and in in the family.
Your children take ear to your words.
For it is wisdom.
Rarely do you speak in admonishment, for highly we take your words into account.
And adore you so much.
Father, you an example of a good and faithful earthly father.
Who abounds in joy and love in his children.
Faithful and loving. Considerate and understanding.
For your love of us emanates from the Eternal Father who is in Heaven.
The Father of All Fathers.
