"A terrifying symptom is usually your greatest dream trying to come true." - A. Mindell

Mothers/Fathers Day

Does your dad have a favorite song? Let NWGC change the lyrics to pay a special tribute to your dad this Father's Day! Here's a sample:

Dream Father/Dream Poppy
Sung to the tune of Bobby Darrin's Hit Dream Lover
I'm so blessed that you're my dad
You nurtured every dream I ever had
A dad who held me in his arms
And told me all about my charms
You're my dad (yeah yeah yeah)
I say (yeah yeah yeah)
You are (yeah yeah yeah)
the best (yeah yeah yeah )
You're a dream father with you our lives are truly blessed.

Every day I talk with you
And tell you every little thing I do
You're always there for everything
And to our family such joy you bring
You're my dad (yeah yeah yeah )
I say (yeah yeah yeah)
You are (yeah yeah yeah)
the best (yeah yeah yeah)
You're a dream father with you our lives are truly blessed.

Dear Poppy I love you so
You're coming to the beach
I'll sing a song for you
The song Yellow Submarine I'll teach.

I remember your face with pride
When you saw our home in Hilton Head
I felt such joy I can't describe
To have you by our side
You're my dad (yeah yeah yeah )
I say (yeah yeah yeah)
You are (yeah yeah yeah)
the best (yeah yeah yeah)
You're a dream father with you our lives are truly blessed.

You are so much fun
We'll play football in the Hilton Head sun
I was so proud when you came to my school
You are one Poppy who is really cool
You're our Poppy (yeah yeah yeah)
We say (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You are (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
the best (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You're a dream Poppy with you our lives are truly blessed

We can't wait to come to visit you
In Haverhill to spend the whole night through
Bunk beds, mints and stay up late
A Red Sox game - can we pick a date?
You're our Poppy (yeah yeah yeah)
We say (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You are (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
the best (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You're a dream Poppy with you our lives are truly blessed.

To a Dad in Law whose really great
I'm so thrilled your daughter is my mate
Going to the auto show was grand
It's great to have you here in all that's planned
You're like my dad (yeah yeah yeah )
I say (yeah yeah yeah)
You are (yeah yeah yeah)
the best (yeah yeah yeah)
You're a dream father with you our lives are truly blessed.

Happy Father's Day to you
May your day be great in all you do
Our love for you just overflows
With every year it grows and grows
You're our Poppy (yeah yeah yeah)
We say (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You are (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
the best (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You're a dream Father with you our lives are truly blessed.

From the kids to their dad:

I know we mean the world to you, you've made that crystal clear
You'd give us anything we want, but that's not what keeps us near.
We know you've spoiled us rotten-there's more than meets the eye
You were always there for Jen and me and not just a dad on the fly.
You gave us our roots and you gave us our wings
And you always made sure we have the best that life brings.
Mart, it's important to let you know love and gratitude overflow
Instilling knowledge, and morals  have helped us both to grow.
I attribute the success I have today to seeds you planted in youth
To grow into a man of integrity, trustworthy - a seeker of truth.
You never missed a game of mine since the time I was 8 years old
 I love how we honor our differences you're a thinker I am bold.
You'd sacrifice the world for us and give us the shirt off your back
(I hope buying Jen's BMW won't cause you to live in a shack!)
We're fortunate you're here for us to talk on the phone everyday
To give us advice and wisdom to still help us on our journey's way.
Every day should be Father's Day to honor the hero you are
And in all of the world there's no greater dad -
in our hearts you are the star!

From a father to his daughter on Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a special time to pay honor and tribute to you
A woman some might call a saint for everything you do.
As a daughter it's not been easy as you work to keep the peace
Your love and your compassion flow and never seem to cease.
As a devoted wife and mother, you tend to everybody's need
To your career and interests, you pay them little heed.
To Liam you've been a mother/nurse
to ensure he's healthy and whole
For both your kids a balanced life has been your only goal.
Studies, Church and music, playing sports and having fun
And you still make time to call me when your busy day is done.
My hope is that this Mother's Day
you'll be pampered and have time to rest
As a daughter, a wife and a mother - you truly are the best!
