My Dad Is…
calm as a frozen forest
cool as a classic car
collected as a jury in a courtroom
personable as a plush blanket
witty as balloon animals
persistent as a landscape sculpted over time
welcoming as an overdue vacation
true as the earth, moon, and sky
loving as peanut butter is to crackers
folksy as bluegrass music
constant as a Swiss-made timepiece
amiable as a temperate, sunny day
clever as a hidden passageway
genuine as Mr. Rogers
marvelous as a world wonder
protective as a lion over his pride
smart as a completed 10,000 piece puzzle
well-meaning as a dog wagging his tail
important as the air we breathe
honest as a microscope
fun as a surprise party
reliable as the sea lapping the shore
fortified as Fort Knox
sincere as the ocean deep
complex as an intricately spun web
mysterious as the universe
useful as a public library
lovely as fine china
private as a tinted limousine
loyal as the morning horizon
real as a garden fresh tomato
handsome as hospital corners
prized as a perfectly selected trifecta
grand as a superhero
compassionate as listening ears and a closed mouth
patient as the top of Mount Everest
gentle as a breeze
understanding as a bandaid on a blister
comforting as rain on a tin roof
strong as the Hoover Dam
fierce as an erupting volcano
interesting as a well-used metaphor
reasonable as an umbrella in the rain
loved by his family more than he knows
adored by me ❤️

This is wonderful….and so is he!
Thank you. He is quietly and most humbly brilliant which is one of the greatest things about him. I read this aloud to him when taking some chicken and dumplins to him yesterday. ☺️
I love the generosity of similes.
Nothing like a good comparison. 😄
This lovely tribute seems ‘worked’ like tatting on a pillowcase-each loop complete, getting its job done.
Your response would’ve made my grannies proud. Thank you.
An AMAZING TRIBUTE for your father, whom has been all that and more in his lifetime and we THANK GOD and pray for many more years with him. Your picture painted on the canvas of his life with words, is so graciously applied.
Thanks, Mom. 🥰
