Poetry For Dads...
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad

A Father means so many things...
A understanding heart,
A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start.
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.
With encouragement and forgiveness
No matter what comes your way. A special generosity and always affection, too
A Father means so many things
When he's a man like you...

"Walk a little slower, Daddy,"
Said a child so small.
"I'm following in your footsteps
And I do not want to fall."
"Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see.
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me."
"Someday when I am all grown up,
You're what I want to be.
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me."
"And I would want to lead just so
And know that I was true.
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you."

A careful man I've got to be,
A little fellow follows me.
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he'll go the self same way.
I must not madly turn aside
Where pleasure's paths are smooth and wide.
And join in wine's revelry,
A little fellow follows me.
I cannot once escape his eyes;
Whatever he sees me do he tries,
Like me he says he's going to be,
That little chap that follows me.
He thinks that I am good and fine,
Believes in every word of mine;
The base in me he must not see,
That little chap that follows me.
I must remember as I go
Through summer sun and winter snow,
I'm building for the years to be,
A little fellow follows me.
