The Ingredients of a Father

A Father is someone who truly cares

Enough to always lend his ears

To hold, to comfort, to calm worst fears

To scold, to chastise, and to wipe away tears

 

A Father is a person who’s always on call

To stand beside you and to cushion your fall

He’ll pick you up whenever you’re down

And show you by example how to carry on

 

A Father will sacrifice his true happiness

To make sure that you have only the very best

He will even try to save his last dollar away

To provide for you a much brighter day

 

A Father knows just how to make you smile

He’ll display his sense of humor every once in a while

He’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy

Cause a Father always tries to be a very good daddy

 

A Father is made up of all of the above

And when blended together he is so full of love

Love that is dependable, sincere, and most kind

All ingredients of a Father like yours and mine

 

And so on yet another Father’s Day

Of all the things we could do or possibly say

Is simply to show gratitude and to thank you daddy dear

For being such a wonderful father over the years.
