To My Dad

I LOVE YOU DAD

What Makes A Dad

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

"WALK A LITTLE CLEARER, DADDY"

"Walk a little clearer Daddy,"
said the little girl one day
"I'm following in your footsteps,
and I need to know the way."

"Sometimes your steps are very plain,
but sometimes, they are hard to see
So, walk a little clearer Daddy,
cause you are leading me."

"I know that you walked this way,
just a few years ago,
and what you did along the way,
I would really like to know."

"Cause someday I'll be tempted,
and I won't know what to do,
so, walk a little clearer Daddy,
so you can help me through."

"Someday when I'm all grown-up,
you are like what I want to be,
then maybe I'll have a little one
who will want to follow me."

"And I want to lead them right,
and help them to be true,
so, walk a little clearer, Daddy
cause we are following you."

DADDY'S HANDS

I remember Daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
and reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare.
You could read quiet a story in the callouses and lines.
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy's hands, how they held my Mama tight
and patted my back for something I'd done right.
There are things I've forgotten that I loved about that man,
but I'll always remember the love in Daddy's hands.

Daddy's hands, were soft and kind when I was crying.
Daddy's hands, were hard as steal when I'd done wrong.
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle,
but I've come to understand,
there was always love in Daddy's hands.

I remember Daddy's hands working till they bled,
sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over, I'd live my life again,
and never take for granted the love in Daddy's hands.
