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 & provider
And the "hero or the scrimmage"....

And perhaps that is the reason
We sometimes get the notion,
That Fathers are not emotion,

But is 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 accolade ot praise,

For the only reason Dad aspires
To fortune & success
Is to make the family proud of him
And to bring them happiness....

And like OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,
He's a guardian and guide,
Someone that we can count on
To be ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE.
