Looking Over the Horizon

 
Looking out my window, I see someone coming. 
Over the horizon, oh could it be  him, the one my Mom adores ?

For many many years Mom has adored this special man.
You see, he used to come down to the fishing dock
where we were fishing, and cut up with us and tell jokes.
He loved to  joke around with us kids.
 
Now, as I am looking over the horizon, I wonder is it him, that I see coming.

Ten years ago he became my step - father.

Yes it is him coming over the horizon in his police uniform with a great big smile upon his face.

He has come home to his loving wife.
Dad has become a big part of our lives now.

Many years later you see, he took my mother to be his wife.  
T hat was ten years ago.

He has brought so much joy to my mom's life.

Now she is always smiling with joy.

Her eyes have that sparkle back in them they had years ago.

Now I can see him coming over the horizon with his beautiful smile.
 
I just want to say thank you to this very special man I call my dad

for so many things but most of all for putting my mom's smile

back upon her face and the twinkle back in her eyes that she lost for a long time.
You are the dad I never really had.

You will always be my daddy in my eyes .

I thank God for you every day. 

Thanks for coming over the horizon each and every day.
