On Being a Dad
On Being a Dad
To be a dad is wonderful;
it makes me burst with joy.
It is the thing I waited for
since I was just a boy.
When the kids aren’t with me on this day;
it doesn’t change my worth.
I’m still a dad to all my kids;
the best on God’s green earth!
Their mom’s the best to these great kids;
wouldn’t have it otherwise.
We’re blessed with our small family;
the girls as well as guys!
And better still than these sweet kids
are the children that they bore!
They’ve blessed us so abundantly
I couldn’t ask for more.
So hear these words of happiness
we share here all together:
dads have stood the tests of time
through every kind of weather!
So on this day we all give thanks
for dads on this blue ball,
we’ll celebrate and with you say,
“Happy Father’s Day to all!”
