The Silent Honor- Joseph Jensen
This world has seen many fathers
Who have performed many great and noble things.
Strengthened a nation,
Silenced fears,
Relieved suffering
And changed the course of history.
Yet the most great and noble father I have known
Lives within the walls of my own home.
He performs no extraordinary tasks,
No miraculous feats;
He just does what is right because
It is right.
He needs no adulation,
No praise or glory of men.
He just goes about doing good because
That is how it makes him feel.
But there are those that see his goodness.
They are his children.
Indeed, they may not always see
But they know
That this silent honor is what they will pass on
To their children.
They know that true greatness needs no praise
It is found in the day-to-day living of unwearied goodness
They have seen their father give.
Such goodness is truly a remarkable thing,
Far greater than any glory found in the annuals of history.
For one day the child will say:'He is my father'
And know it is an honor.
Me and my Dad- Bet he still wishes he had that much hair!
Kate and Ryan love their Daddy too! 
I don't have any pictures of my wonderful Father-In-Law to post, but it's important to note that I consider him a great Father too. He has raised a wonderful son who I love dearly. He is also one of the best Grandfathers (Poppas) I know...Happy Fathers Day!
Happy Father's Day (late) Uncle Wes! Hope it was a fun day!
