My Dad

Born a baby in a world of hope
Not knowing life or how to cope

I stretched my hands to a loving dad
Who cared for me through life’s good and bad

He bounced me up upon his knee
Through my youthful eyes, his love I see

His caring example gives me all I need
To face life’s challenges and to succeed

Not only a dad, but my very best friend
Caring and loving, to the very end

Now all grown up and miles away
I still see my dad every single day

He’s always there, right by my side
His love’s within me and always will abide

My dad’s the best, I can safely say
To him I wish a HAPPY FATHERS DAY
