TO DAD, ON FATHER’S DAY

 

A Father’s job is wisdom,

And this you’ve proved so true;

Your beauty is our beauty also,

Your wisdom is ours too.

 

Our family has such harmony,

You’re the conductor with his wand;

We’re the symphony of the highest music,

An instrument of God.

 

It’s good to know that you care,

Guiding us from despair;

Guiding lights are so rare,

Your life shows us the way.

 

We take this day to take praise,

And enjoy your saintly life;

Your life is good, we’re glad you live it;

And that you took your wife.

 

Happy Father’s Day from all the kids,

And those of us who care;

We love you ‘cause your love for us;

It’s good to know you’re there

 

From kites and toys, and childish ploys,

To adults who have now grown;

You’ve helped us through so many things,

We thank you for our home.
