to my father


It matters not that Time has shed
His thawless snow upon your head,
For he maintains, with wondrous art,
Perpetual summer in your heart.

- William Hamilton Hayne, To My Father

Happy birthday sweet father of mine!

All my love,
Sarah

Wooooohoooo!!! Happy birthday, father..haha I love this picture. Did any of the ones of us turn out or do we look awkwardly shadowed and uncomfortable, as usual?

The thing I love most about this post is that I know how sincere it is. You really did find the perfect poem!

Remember how Dad used to let you style his thick head of hair any way you wanted? What a patient guy-- esp when you told him he had to play Meeko in Pocahontas! Hahaha. Good times.
