What is a Father?

A Father is a helping hand
To lift you when you fall.
A Father is a caring heart
That hears you when you call.
A Father is a loving arm
That comforts all your tears.
A Father is a Shining Knight
That takes away your fears.
A Father loves you stanchly
No matter what you've done.
A Father has a ready laugh
He knows how to have some fun.
A Father stands beside you
Through good times and through bad.
He daily earns the title
When he's lovingly called Dad.

Father

From the first, you stood by me.
When I'd fall and scrape my knee.
You taught me how to ride a bike,
Were patient with boys you didn't like.
You were there when I learned to drive;
Wondering if we'd ever survive!
Through every tear, mistake and fight,
It often turned out you were right.
From you I learned my lesson well,
And with your guidance, I will not fail.
