A Father Means
A Father means so many things…
An understanding heart,
A source of strength and support
Right from the very start.
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.
With encouragement and forgiveness,
No matter what comes your way.
A special generosity and
Always affection, too.
A father means so many things
when he’s a man like you…

Life Lessons
You may have thought I didn’t see,
Or that I hadn’t heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we’d grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It’s written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be
The person I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I’ve grown up with your values,
And I’m very glad I did;
So here’s to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

An Ode To Dads
Dads are the rock that holds us strong,
A compass to guide us all along,
The foundation of our lives they create,
A stronghold of love that’s never late.

With strength and support, they stand by our side,
A beacon of hope that never hides,
Dads are the world we live in each day,
And their love is what lights the way.
