For your wisdom and your guidance
And your remarkable reliance
For showing me the moon and stars
And for making me wish for things from afar
For holding my hands and wiping my tears
And for believing in me and calming my fears
For teaching me the pathways of life
And showing me how to live with out unnecessary strife
For your broad shoulders and your sense of duty
Oh! Daddy! How I have tested your ability
For your affection and your sense of humor
And for making me believe you were quite superior
For giving me of your very best
And for never ever making me feel any less
For high standards, great examples, and many treasures
And for love and compassion and joy beyond all measures
Oh! Daddy you deserve so much more praise
More than this paper note here could ever say
Be proud and rejoice and enjoy your day
For you are so worthy of a toast on Father’s Day
Help your children to measure their self worth and they will do you proud.
