Hello Alan!
LOL! I think you speak for fathers everywhere!
Love the way you take us through the years of a child's life.
This poem was exactly what I needed to read since I have just come out of the rant room where I was ranting about daughters and idiot dads.
Thank-you very, very much for posting!

Dear Tree,

So I helped resolve your rant ? Great !

Tell, me, whose side were you on, the heavenly daughters or the idiot Dads ?

Love
Alan

Aww! This was cute

I love the style here, it's so different! And you summed it all up just perfect

Great write!

Smiles!,

LOL! Alan!
I wasn't on either side, I was stuck right smack dab in the middle, which is why I was Ranting! I'm over it now, though! I do try not to rant on for too long and better to rant here than AT them! Makes for a much more peaceful home.

Dear Serenity,

As you are of a younger persuasion than me, I take that as a really nice compliment, thank you !

Love
Alan
