As I have been reading the Book of Mormon I came across this. At a vulnerable moment in young Nephi's life, his prophetic future was determined when he said "I did believe all the words which had been spoken by my father." Also, at the turning point of the prophet Enos's life, he said it was "the words which I had often heard my father speak" which prompted on of the great revelations recorded in the Book of Mormon.
Neal has been and is a great father to his children. Had they all listened to his council and advice and trusted his testimony, some of their lives would have been easier and not quite so complicated.
Don't know who wrote this but it is cute and perfect for Father's Day.
Only a dad with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
toiling an striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way
Glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come home and to hear his voice.
Only a dad, but he gives his all,
Smoothing the way for his children small,
Doing with courage so stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him.
These are the lines that for him I pen,
Only a dad - but the best of men.
