To Dad, From Your
Daughter
By Jackie
Whiteker
As
each year passes by dad
I begin to
realize,
How much I've
always leaned on you
For wisdom and
advice.
I
remember all the endless times
You taught me
right from wrong.
Because of you I
have faith in myself
And a confidence
true and strong.
I
have many special memories
Of things you
have said or done,
And I catch
myself smiling dad,
As I remember
them, one by one.
And
even though I'm all grown up
I can still
depend on you,
For words of
wisdom and guidance
In everything
that I do.
So
dad this year I give to you
A gift you'll
always have.
The love and
admiration
From a daughter,
to her dad

Wonderful Poem to
give to Daughter from Dad
Written by
JasaVa
Submitted by
Steve Tucky
For
when you were a baby
I held you so
tight
I was the only
man
who kept you in
my sight
For
when you were a teen
I cheered you
and stood tough
for you had new
loves
and I knew it
would be rough
For
now you are a lady
I don't always
see you around
I just wanted to
let you know
That I am so
very proud

For My First
Grandchild
(To give along
with Ariana)
By Jackie
Whiteker
Here's
some gifts my little one,
My very first
grandchild to love.
Together we'll
have so much fun.
For you, I thank
God above.
To
you, my very first gift,
Is my love that
I will share.
Money could
never buy it,
Love's priceless
beyond compare.
The
second gift I gift to you,
Is something to
keep from me.
Something you
will surely use,
As time marches
on, you'll see.
When
you're born, your name will go
On the bottom of
Ariana in gold.
And as your baby
teeth choose to go,
Place them in
her hand to hold.
The
date will be written on the bottom.
And in the
morning, when you awaken,
A treasure
you'll see in Ariana's garden
In exchange for
your tooth the fairy's taken.
And
as you grow and collect keepsakes,
You can place
them in the glass cup
Where Ariana
will keep them safe,
Until you choose
to put them up.
One
day you'll have a home of your own,
And with you
Ariana will go,
She'll hold a
candle to light up your home,
And remind you
of the memories you treasure so.
And
if you have a child someday,
Ariana will be a
gift beyond compare.
A new name to
add to the bottom that day
And something
you two will always share.

I wrote this one for a dear friend of
mine that I worked
with at the time.
She and her husband were blessed
with their first
child on March 13, 1993.
Joshua has many physical and
mental handicaps
as he was born
with a syndrome referred to as
Trisome #9.
This hasn't stopped him from
being a joy to both
proud parents.
He has touched the hearts of
many - including myself.
Jesus
Whispered In My Ear Today
By Jackie
Whiteker
Jesus
Whispered in my ear today
and told me how
much He loved me,
and then He said
He wanted me to know
what a special
mommy and daddy He gave me.
Two
people chosen solely by Him
to help me be
all I can be,
who would always
be gentle and patient
and thankful God
blessed them with me.
He
then said "Dear Joshua remember -
whatever this
life on earth brings,
your guardian
angel stands watch over you
while I am in
control of all things."
He
told me that though I'm just an infant
I can tell you
both I love you,
by simply
looking at you with my bright eyes
and letting my
love shine through.
He
smiled when I got sleepy today mommy,
and you sang me
a lullaby,
and He watched
as daddy held me in his arms
and I gently
closed both my sleepy eyes.
He
said it filled His heart with joy
to watch the
three of us
A Father -
Mother - and a Son
who love the
Lord so much.
And
then He gently touched my hand
and gave it a
loving squeeze,
and I looked up
and smiled at Him
as He smiled
back at me.
"I
bless you Joshua" He said to me.
"I know
your every need
That's why I
gave you a mommy and daddy
who would love
you and teach you about Me."
So
thank you sweet Jesus for whispers in my ears
that help me
along the way,
and thank you
for mommy and daddy,
who thank You -
for me - when they pray.

I wrote this
one for our son when he
graduated from high school in
1993
To My Son
By Jackie
Whiteker
I'm
so very proud of you son,
for all that
you've grown up to be.
A loving son - A
fine young man,
with such a
great personality.
And
on this special day of yours,
as you graduate
from Circle High,
I just wanted to
let you know
you're so loved
by your dad and I.
For
eighteen years you've given us
some wonderful
times together.
Memories I'll
cherish in my heart -
that are etched
in my mind forever.
Don't
let tomorrow worry you,
you've plenty to
look forward to.
New adventures,
new friends to meet,
so many great
things you will do.
I
know sometimes in all our lives,
decisions are
difficult to make,
But if you'll
put your trust in God,
He'll show you
the path to take.
He's
given you a special talent
of working with
your hands.
Repairing cars,
and electronics too -
you really seem
to understand.
I
know this world will be a better place
with you out
there my son -
Helping people
in whatever you do,
giving your best
to each one.
The
best advice I can give to you
is to take life
one day at a time.
Always try to do
what's right,
and I'm sure
you'll do just fine.
I
wish you the best in everything
as I pray for
your happiness, son
And I hope your
dreams will all come true
as time keeps
traveling on.
So
hold your head high now
and take pride
in who you are.
And as your
dreams become your goals,
may success take
you far.
I'd
like to close by saying son -
Thank-You for
the love you give.
Remember, we'll
always be here for you,
and love you as
long as we live!

I presented this in a frame to my
little brother
on his graduation day
from college. He overcame
multiple obstacles
to accomplish this feat, and
still
managed to work full time and
spend time with his family.
To
My Brother
By Jackie
Whiteker
This,
my dear brother, is your special day-
to celebrate
knowledge as you graduate.
A
time for reflecting on all that you've learned,
and pride as you
receive the degree you have earned.
For
now all the worries are finally through-
no lectures to
attend, no reports that are due.
Yes
the road to this place was difficult at times-
but through
perseverance your accomplishments shine.
Now
you've realized your dream and your goal has been reached.
What glorious
satisfaction to accomplish this feat.
As
I share in your moment with love in my heart-
for this fait
accompli, my praise I impart.
So
here's to your future as you soar to new heights.
May God bless
you always in your adventure of life!

With Love, From Dad
By Jackie
Whiteker
Be
careful little one as you climb that tree
I wouldn't want
you to fall
And look both
ways when you cross the street
As you chase
that bouncing ball
I'm
gonna let go now as you try it on your own
For that's how
you must learn to ride
I know you can
do it, even alone,
There you go on
your brand new bike!
You
made the team, I'm so proud of you!
What a great
soccer player you'll be
I'll be at every
game to watch over you
And to cheer you
on, you'll see
You're
in the school play? How wonderful!
You'll do a
great job, I know
My little
princess so beautiful
Your smiling
face all aglow
The
day you asked, "Can I borrow the keys?"
I suddenly
realized,
My little girl
is now a young lady
Grown up before
my very eyes
It
seems to me the years flew by
And soon you'll
be leaving our home
Preparing to
begin your new adult life
And making a
home of your own
So
then my thoughts begin to whirl
Have I taught
you all you need to know?
Will you be o.k.
out in this world?
Do you know that
I love you so?
As
sadness started creeping in
And tears
swelled up in my eyes
I stopped to
think, it's not the end
As you'll always
be part of my life
So
know that my love will be in your heart
No matter what
you choose to do
And as your
father, I want to impart
That I'm ever so
proud of you
***
A Special Grandma
By Jackie
Whiteker
Grandma
hold me in your arms
I feel so safe
with you
Rock me in your
favorite chair
And tell me a
story or two.
I
always love to visit you
You play fun
games with me
And when you
laugh the way you do
My little
heart's filled with glee
I
love to call you on the phone
When with you I
can't be
I know I'm never
all alone
For I have you
in my heart with me
So
until next time I see you
Remember I love
you so
You're really
special grandma
I just wanted
you to know

Little miss Ariana,
So pretty and polite,
Upon this newborn baby,
Please shine your fragrant,
soft light.
On your base, I have placed,
Her name and birthdate,
In the hopes that, together,
Memories you'll create.
Like when at age 5,
And her first tooth does come
out,
She can store the tooth in your
little cup,
So the toothfairy need not look
about.
Or if at age 13,
Should daddy give her a ring,
Your gentle outstretched hand,
Will provide safe haven for the
precious thing.
And then at age 16,
When her own candles she
desire,
The cup that held her little
tooth,
Will now hold the candles'
fires.
Or if at age 21,
Should she choose to wed,
She can find a special place
for you,
On the table beside her bed.
And when she chooses to have,
A daughter of her own,
Your little light will brighten
the nursery,
So the baby need not feel
alone.
Then when the grandchildren
arrive,
And one she just must hold,
Your light will continue to
shine,
Forever, true and bold.
So in her later years,
When her gaze turns to you,
She'll smile and remember all
the things,
She's done her whole life
through.
***
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I've got some wonderful things,
To show to you.
I'll tell you about my company,
And give you my name,
Then I'll let you know,
Why I got into this game.
I'll show you our candles,
In wonderful colors and scents,
That you won't be able to find
in
Stores or clearance tents.
I'll show you the holders,
And other products, too,
And definately convince you
That a party's for you.
Then I'll tell you some facts,
That you may not know,
So without further ado,
Let's get on with the show.
***
You know you're
my best friend.
We have a love
that will never end.
But sometimes on a tangent
one of us will go,
And afterwards it is important
to let our love show.
Then it's time to say, "I'm sorry"
and put aside the woe. . .
To light this special candle
and let our love glow!
