#1 Extraordinary Man
I know of an extraordinary compassionate man
Who lives and believes in doing all that he can.
For I know others who have met him will concur
I am honored to know this man as my father.
He is strong yet gentle with an impressible drive
In him I find virtues for which I strive.
He has fought battles and at times had to make a sacrifice
Of which I know he would never think twice.
He carries a spirit within him that cannot be ignored
This spirit from heaven God's precious reward.
He maintains with wondrous art
Perpetual love and kindness in his heart.
Like the oysters that beautify and protect the pearls,
He enriches and preserves the lives of his girls.
And in looking back on all the years of my life
He has always expressed love to my mother, his wife.
And with that there is nothing more to add
Because all the love he's shared makes me very glad.
So the greatest man that I have ever known
Is the father I am proud to call my own.
A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.
Carl Sandburg
To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order;
to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put
the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must
first set our hearts right. Confucius
Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide
forever to have your heart go walking outside your body. Elizabeth Stone
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to
this country and to mankind is to bring up a family. G.B. Shaw

In every dispute between parent and child, both
cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this
situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.
Isaac Rosenfeld
