Birthday Dad
Dad, you are a king
of men
I will say it over and over again
No one could be so blessed.
To have a Dad that above the rest
So here's a toast to you today
To a wonderful Dad, Happy Birthday
Dad
I’ll Always Need You
Sometimes it's hard
for us
to be friends because
in some
ways we see life from
opposite
angles and different
directions.
But I hope you know,
Dad,
that even when it
seems
I'm just being
stubborn, I still hear
what you're saying,
and I still listen to
you with love,
because I still need
you...
and I always will.
My Dad and I
My dad and I - we
think alike,
He knows just what I mean
Before I even say a word
He reads, well, in between.
My dad and I-we like to fish
Or build a model plane,
Or fix a broken chair or two
Or just a windowpane.
My dad and I-we know the score
Of every single game;
Sometimes he's really busy, too
But he takes me just the same.
My dad and I-we go swimming too,
Each year and sometimes twice.
My dad and I-we do everything;
My dad-he's really nice.
Dad
Dad...so many images
come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.
Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.
Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.
My Daddy
Walking down the
winding path
I hold tight to Daddy's hand
His firm but gentle grip makes me
Feel safe like nothing else can.
I don't know where we are going
But my Daddy knows the way
He leads us down the path that's right
And will not let us stray
I hold on to his hand tightly
I know he won't let me fall
For my Daddy is the biggest
and the strongest of them all
I don't ever have to worry
When I hold his hand in mine
Because I know he will protect
And love me for all time
Please, Dad
By - Michael Anderson
As soft winds sweep away the days
I look back on life through a haze.
Remember playgrounds, parks and friends,
In childlike gaze that never ends.
The laughter in a game of catch,
Shall memory ever attach...
To innocence in youthful eyes,
Catching the ball to Dad's surprise.
I recall my first bike, first wreck,
Who picked me up, said, "What the heck?"
Convinced me to give one more try,
While, knees skinned, I forgot to cry.
Just the joy knowing he was there,
Making him proud my only care.
There was nothing I couldn't do,
My heart held fast that to be true.
Though teenage years were kind of rough,
I sure wasn't too big or tough.
You taught me to defend what's right
And never back down from a fight.
So I learned the hard way to stand,
Still, with each lump, I found your hand.
Drawing from you an inner strength,
And stubborn pride of equal length.
But there the line of fate was drawn,
As though I blinked and you were gone.
I found myself facing the sun,
Not man, not boy, fatherless, one.
Eyes blinded by a void inside,
I could not live that you had died.
Alas finding it to be true,
I could do nothing without you.
Please, Dad, today just hear my call,
I'm sorry that I dropped the ball.
My life is wrecked, my knees are skinned,
My emotions undisciplined.
I can't get up although I try,
Please don't be upset if I cry.
Though I can't fight what I can't see,
Please, Dad, say you're still proud of me.
Memories
When all the children
have grown and gone,
Which memories of Father will linger on?
Will it be the times he dried their tears,
Held them close and calmed their fears?
The way he always found the time
To read their favorite nursery rhyme,
Over and over, time and time again,
Until they knew it, beginning to end.
The sleepless nights with an ailing child,
Father stays there all the while,
Ministering love with healing hands,
Spinning tales of faraway lands.
What memories will follow them as they go?
All of these, and more I know.
But most important, can they say,
"I had a Father who loved to pray".
World’s Greatest Dad
I've been thinking,
Dad,
about all the times
you've believed in me
when I didn't even
believe in myself.
Times you've
understood me when
I was so difficult to
understand.
The times you've
encouraged me
when I needed it
most.
But more than these
things, Dad,
I've been thinking
about the unfailing
love which has
followed me through
all the stages of my
life...
And I just want to
let you know
that I think
you are
"The Greatest
Dad in the Whole World "
and that I love you very,very
much.
The Absent Dad
I am the image of my
Dad,
and when you're away, it makes me sad.
I need you here, to learn and grow,
because without you, you never know,
I am the image of my father,
and being with you makes me stronger.
I am a small boy now, but growing each day,
I need you around to help me play.
My dad should teach me right from wrong,
and how to sing your favorite song.
To love and be loved, that is your job,
but of these things you will be robbed.
If you think it's not important to stay,
you may regret your decision one day.
To love and be loved, that's my job too,
but without you around, how will I do?
There are things I need to know in life,
like how to choose a suitable wife.
Unimportant these things may seem to be,
I don't know why you just can't see,
the most important parent for me is you,
and you need to fully understand that too!
In your place, who should I choose?
Is there another that can walk in your shoes?
Not in my eyes and I need you to know,
Without you around, I cannot grow.
You are very special to me, you see,
and I need you to want to be around me.
I want to say "hey that's my dad",
and when you hear that, you will be glad.
Sometimes I look all around me and see,
other kids with their dads and wish it was me!
To My Dad
My father once told
me that I was his girl,
His beauty, his pride, his angel, his pearl.
I would ride his shoulders, like a pony or horse,
He would run like crazy till I’d almost fall off.
I remember his face for each time we visit,
I memorize it well as I know I will miss it.
Daddy’s little girl, the only one of three,
Loved by more, but most by me.
The love I give comes in circle by shape,
No hearts will be found, as sometimes they break.
Family is like treasure, lucky to have,
This gold must be cherished through good times and bad.
My dad is my dad ,there’s no words to explain,
The joys he brings, and the memories we’ve made.
This distance between us is not long at all,
You’re right here with me in my heart, in my soul.
My Father
You filled my days
with rainbow lights,
Fairy tales and sweet
dream nights,
A kiss to wipe away
my tears,
Gingerbread to ease
my fears.
You gave the gift of
life to me,
And then in love, you
set me free.
I thank you for your
tender care,
For deep warm hugs,
and being there.
I hope that when you
think of me,
A part of you, you'll
always see.
Number One Dad
Who gives me love and
guidance?
Who shows me wrong
from right?
Who's there when I
need confidence?
Who tucks me in at
night?
He's someone always
on my side.
At times my biggest
fan.
His love he never
tries to hide.
He's really quite a
man.
But that's just half
the story.
The rest sure makes
me glad.
'Cause this guy's
much more you see.
He's number one - My
Dad!
My Special Father
It takes many special
qualities
To make a father like
you,
A lot of care and
kindness
And understanding,
too...
It takes a special
kind of love
That seems to know no
end
And the
thoughtfulness and patience
Of a true and trusted
friend...
It takes many special
qualities
To make a father like
you,
And that's why you
are loved so much
Today and all year
through.
Dad
I am what I am.
I have chosen my
path, set my own
future but all that I
am,
I owe to you Dad. You
instilled in me
a sense of value and
taught me the
way I should go.
The love you showed
me will
always be with me.
I know no matter
where
I go or what I do,
your love will always
follow.
