| ~GOD MADE FATHERS~ God must have known our earthly for someone wiser;Someone who could turn a hopelesssituation into shades of victory; Someone whose touch could transform clouds into sunshine, tears into joy, sadness into laughter That's why He made fathers... like himself. ~Dad~ I sure am glad, You are my Dad. You are true blue, Do I love you! ~SPECIAL DAD~ Dad, I�d really like to be So very much like you. To grow up strong and caring, To do the things you do.

Then I packed it full of love And sent it off to you! ~BEST DADDY~ My daddy is the best, you see, Because he takes good care of me. He takes me to the park to play, Or to the beach on a sunny day.

Daddy Forgets My Name by Bruce Lansky My daddy calls me sweetie pie. He calls me honey bunny. He also calls me poopsie, which I think is kind of funny. My daddy calls me sugarplum, and also sleepyhead. My silly dad forgets my name when he tucks me into bed. ~My Dad~ by Hazel Fletcher Young I love someone dearly. He's kind as can be; He makes me so happy; He's my dad, you see. He takes me out fishing; We play ball and swim; He knows about everything; I'm so proud of him. And as I get bigger, I just want to grow To be like my daddy, 'Cause I love him so. ~Dear Daddy,~ I'm so happy That you're my dad. You do things That make me glad. You read me stories, You sing me songs. You ask me often To come along. You teach me how To do so much. I love to feel Your guiding touch. And when you hold My hand real tight, I know that things Will be all right. In all the world I know it's true, There is no daddy Just like you. All the Above Submitted by Cheryl :O) |
| Sweet little one so precious and dear how I love to hold you near Tenderly whispering words of love gently caressing your skin so soft Too soon you'll be crawling off my lap anxious to take that important first step Thankful I'll be and my joy will abound as I watch you discover the world around But time will pass all too fast leaving only memories of the past For all too soon you'll be grown out in the world on your own So I'll covet these times and treasure these prints For the key they'll be to those memories past the little one I once held on my lap. ~DADDY'S STEPS~ When Daddy walks along the street And hurries home to me, He takes the quickest, longest steps That ever I did see. But when I go to walk with him, He acts quite differently, And he takes the slowest, shortest ones To keep in step with me. -Margaret Brown Elms Two little feet Always on the run. Two little feet Find helping fun. Two little feet Running in to say, "I love you and Happy Father's Day." ~Walk a Little Plainer~ ~Daddy~ Walk a little plainer, daddy, Said a little child so frail. I'm following in your footsteps And I don't want to frail. Sometimes your steps are very plain; Sometimes they are hard to see; So walk a little plainer, daddy, For you are leading me. I know that once you walked this way Many years ago. And what you did along the way, I'd really like to know. For sometimes when I am tempted, I don't know what to do. So walk a little plainer, daddy, For I must follow you. Someday when I'm grown up, You are like I want to be. Then I will have a little child Who will want to follow me. And I would want to lead him right and help him To Be True. So " Walk a Little Plainer, Daddy, For I must follow you". All of The Above Submitted by Cheryl :O) ~God Made Dads~ God took the strength of a mountain The majesty of a tree The warmth of a summer sun The calm of a quiet sea The generous soul of nature The comforting arm of night The wisdom of the ages The power of the eagle's flight The joy of a morning in spring The faith of a mustard seed The patience of eternity The depth of a family need Then God combined these qualities When there was nothing more to add He knew His masterpiece was complete And so He called it ... Dad ~~Author Unknown.~~ Submitted by Linda ~A little Girl needs Daddy~ A little girl needs Daddy For many, many things: Like holding her high off the ground Where the sunlight sings! Like being the deep music That tells her all is right When she awakens frantic with The terrors of the night. Like being the great mountain That rises in her heart And shows her how she might get home When all else falls apart. Like giving her the love That is her sea and air, So diving deep or soaring high She'll always find him there. Found this at About.com |

| ~Daddy's Girl~ When you were young, pony-tailed, face full of playful freckles, were you a daddy's girl? I was. I still am. Did you look to him for your security, for love and attention, for the understanding, and the patience you lacked as a child? My daddy was the center of my small world, the focus of my affections, the star that lit my life, shining bright. Shining still in my heart. The years have led me here, weathered with maturity and responsibilities, and I see more clearly now. The hardships, burdens of love, and all the small sacrifices he made for me, for our family. He created stability, a place to call home. All the photographs I browse through of a child long forgotten, scarcely remembered smiling, so happy and so loved. The mere thought of becoming that role model is enough to send me cowering, afraid... looking for guidance. Turning to my father and my more for support, advice, wise counsel, and for approval. Grown up, I see differently now... A new perspective of a man I have always known. My heart is full, my emotions overpowering just in the certainty of that bond. He's been there for me through all the conflicts helping me over the rough, ragged stones of growing up. My respect for him is unending, faith is unbound, and love is unquestioning. Even in the midst of all my imperfections, he is lenient, ignoring the pitfalls, the downfalls, the shortcomings, he just accepted me as I was, as I am. The sheer purity of it leaves me awe-struck and it lifts me up, it holds my head a little higher, it keeps me in balance, harmonizing with the world around me beautifully, like an inspired masterpiece from the soul of an honest man. I am honored to know him, to love him, to be of him. He's my hero, and I am his daughter, his little girl. Submitted by Linda in Ottawa |
| ~Perhaps we'll never understand each other~ Perhaps we'll never understand each other. Loving doesn't mean that we agree. If that were so, then I would say, why bother? But there are things I know I'll never see. I'm sure your heart knows what I don't yet know: The pain of loving a reluctant son; The anger, coming fast and building slow, Of being helpless to control someone. You want only that I grow up right, But you know what right is, and I still don't. I have to learn to wield my inner light, And if I follow yours, well, then I won't. I'm sorry for the anger in the air; Though we fight, my love is always there. ~The things you taught me~ The things you taught me I will always know. How could I not? The roots have sunk so deep: All lessons of the heart that I will keep No matter who I am or where I go. Kids learn from what their parents are, and so You are my book of life, the thoughts I reap; Only in your arms I quiet sleep; Under my words your voice sings soft and slow. From you I learned the rules of right and wrong Against which I at times had to rebel, Though with regret I carry with me still. How lucky I am to have been loved so well, Even as I pushed against your will, Relying on a father fair and strong Happy Father's Day A Dad is a person who is loving and kind, And often he knows what you have on your mind. He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends. A dad can be one of your very best friends! He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong, A dad can be patient and helpful and strong In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part. There's always a place for him deep in your heart. And each year that passes, you're even more glad, More grateful and proud just to call him your dad! Thank you, Dad... for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but, especially, for just being you! Happy Father's Day. ~Fathers can be solitary mountains~ Fathers can be solitary mountains, All their love rock-like, steep, and strong. Though warm and caring, somehow they belong Halfway home to mothers' bubbling fountains. Each of us needs love that knows no quarter, Reminding us of bonds that cross a border, Strengthening our sense of right and wrong Labor Of Love A ready made family was by chance Inevitable By our labor of love romance A husband, a father, a friend In this great life that has no end Tis but a journey;this circle of life The joys of children and of wife With stories told, you watched them play From winters snow to summers day With their coats and trousers hung on a hook Their pockets bulging out fat at the seem A marble, a comb, a map, a pocketbook Shared treasures of a little boys dream The shoes of a Father you do fill Not for fame or fortune;Only your goodwill With guidence and love they see all you do The little child in themselves is in you too As the hours, days, years go by On your loving ways we do rely In this great circle of life A husband, a Father ,A friend Our love for you knows no end.
