Happy Fathers’ Day
On behalf of the MLB Urban Youth Academy, we would like to wish our friends, members and entire families a happy Fathers’ Day!!
Dad
By: Karen K. Boyer
He’s never one to boast
He just goes on quietly working
For those he loves the most
His dreams are seldom spoken
His wants are very few
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken too
He’s there…. A firm foundation
Through all our storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold to
In times of stress and strife
A true friend we can turn to
When times are good or bad
One of our greatest blessings,
The man that we call Dad.
