*~DADS~*


Fathers are wonderful people,
too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises,
as often as we should.


For somehow, Father seems to be
the man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
and nurses all our ills.


And Father struggles daily
to live up to "His Image",
As protector and provider
and "Hero of the scrimmage."


And perhaps that is the reason
we sometimes get the notion:
That Fathers are not subject
to the thing we call emotion.


But if you look inside Dad's heart,
where no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental,
and as "soft" as he can be...


But he's so busy everyday
in the grueling race of life
He leaves the sentimental stuff
to his partner, his wife.


But Fathers are just wonderful
in a million different ways;
And they merit loving compliments
and accolades of praise,


For the only reason Dad aspires
to fortune and success:
Is to make his family proud of him
and bring them happiness...


And like our Heavenly Father,
he's our guardian and a guide:
Someone we can count on
and look up to with pride.
