Whole volumes have been written

Of Fathers and their sons.

Why must daughters and their dads

Be such forgotten ones?

There are special ties that bind

A daughter to her dad

And a certain kind of feeling

That sons have never had.

She  goes to Dad for counsel

When things get out of hand.

She knows he has the answers,

That he will understand.

From him she gets her courage;

She thrives upon his praise

And sometimes takes advantage

Of his kind, loving ways.

With due respect to Mother,

Today I'm proud and glad

To write a little poem about

A daughter and her dad!
