A father is God’s gift to all
a pillar of strength and love
A man of divine character
a man from up above
A father holds a newborn babe
in tenderness and awe
He knows the child will find his way
and bless us, one and all
A father prays for God’s great hand
to lead him in his labor
He asks that God protect the child
and keep the child from danger
A father cherishes each gentle kiss
that falls upon his cheek
He hopes each child will not be lost
but a wise man’s counsel seek
A father watches every struggle
and winces with each loss
He knows the child must have trouble
to grow at any cost
A father knows a lesson learned
is better than one missed
His patience and strong support
brings the child joy and bliss
A father looks with pride and smiles
as his child succeeds
He knows that God provides all things
an earthly child needs
A father sets the mark
of how a child should love
And shows by his example
a glimpse of God above
The ideal husband and more;
I thought I knew all about you,
All the things to love and adore.
I saw new qualities to treasure.
You enrich all our lives in fresh ways;
As a dad, you bring so much pleasure.
To have a father like you,
And I love you more than ever,
You’re the best man I ever knew.
