Someone Special

Who’d have thought that this young lad
Would one day grow up and be my dad

And who’d have known that this very man
Would yield his life to the call of God’s plan

A husband, a father, grandfather and friend
A leader and servant so well you have been.

Laughter and love and wisdom you share,
With careful instruction of what to beware

Genuine, trustworthy, talented plenty,
Insightful and giving…your qualities are many!


Patient you are when I’ve stumbled like I can,
You’ve proved to be my number one fan.

You can lighten a load with your witty style,
And encourage a person to go the extra mile.

Happy Birthday to someone known as my dad,
We’re celebrating you today--you make us all so glad!

I thought about your Dad yesterday. I always remember his birthday - it's also Bosses Day!

You and Jamie are truly blessed with godly, loving parents who have SO much wisdom. Plus... they'll make you laugh until you hurt!

Happy Birthday, Randy!
