"Dad, Thank You."

Thank you for the laughter,
For the good times that we share,
Thanks for always listening,
For trying to be fair.

Thank you for your comfort,
When things are going bad,
Thank you for the shoulder,
To cry on when I`m sad.

This poem is a reminder that
All my life through,
I`ll be thanking Heaven
For a Special Dad like you."
Father Is A Source of Strength

A father is a source of strength,
A teacher and a guide,
The one his family looks up to
With loving trust and pride...
A father is a helper
With a willing hand to lend,
A partner, an adviser,
And the finest kind of friend.
What Is A Dad?

A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail...

Daddy`s Little Girl

You`re the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You`re daddy`s little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
You`re mommy`s bright and shining star.

You`re the spirit of Christmas, my star on the tree,
You`re the Easter bunny to mommy and me.
You`re sugar you`re spice, you`re everything nice,
And you`re daddy`s little girl.

You`re the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You`re daddy`s little girl to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
You`re mommy`s bright and shining star.

You`re the treasure I cherish so sparkling and bright,
You were touched by the holy and beautiful light.
Like angels that sing a heavenly thing,
And you`re daddy`s little girl.

You`re the treasure I cherish so sparkling and bright,
You were touched by the holy and beautiful light.
Like angels that sing a heavenly thing,
And you`re daddy`s little girl.

Daddy, I Love You

Daddy, I love you
For all that you do.

I`ll kiss you and hug you
`Cause you love me, too.
You feed me and need me
To teach you to play.
So smile `cause I love you
On this Father`s Day.
