I am here in Ukraine - missing my children but enjoying time with my soon-to-be daughter here. For Fathers day my kids got together to write this poem for me. I am told that my oldest daughter said they decided to "just put dad on paper." God is WAY to good to me...
Father's Day Poem
by the Carwiles and Graham kids
For Mark/Dad:
Ice cream melts on a hot day, (not Haiku)
We miss you dad, Happy Father's Day,
Matt loves his dad and misses him,
He'll watch TV and eat CheezIts (TM) with him,
Daddy's funny, fun, and never Crabby,
He'll sing the SpongeBob song with Abby,
Caitlin, tape the show and get my Blackberry,
Glenn Beck needs my feedback--though contrary,
We can't wait for you to come home,
Please bring Kristina, welcome dom,
Baby boy will be here too,
Soon we'll find a name for you,
It's your "Day", we write you poetry,
Now we're stuck-what rhymes with poetry?
Happy Father's Day!!

It's been almost a month since Father's Day, but I was thinking today that your visit to Ukraine is in many ways like the parable of the lost sheep in Matthew and Luke. You're living out the "parable of the lost child". You've left your other children in North Carolina, and now you're even away from your wife and unborn child. You've done it for the love of your Ukranian child who was taken from your family three and a half years ago. You'll never think it was easy but you'll never regret having done it. I wonder why Jesus didn't tell the parable of the lost child?
Mark, I really want you to be with your WHOLE family and put the temporary situation behind you.
