My greatest joy in this world has to be you, my boys and girls

To know in my own way, the love I found on your birth days

In my heart to forever feel, a more truer love than you fulfill

A Grand’er Father, this I be, through your Mothers love I see

Why every precious moment in someway touches me each day

So special in your own way, joy and tears, your wonder years

Trying my best to help you grow, not always in what I know

For what you feel deep inside is most important in your stride

each step on life’s highway to lift and guide you along the way

I often pray you find amusing why I can be so darn confusing

And just as often why I say, “you kids are raising me every day”

In your heart be understanding of the times I’m so demanding

Emotions I don’t show yet some how, some way you will know

I was not always there at times, this you know in your mind

most important in your heart is how you feel what I support

Times of crisis when I show the love I have to give so you know

a perfect father cannot be said, but the Father I am is your DAD!
