Dear Dad …

Things may have changed in recent times
Evolved into a new
But I see past the ageing parts
To the twinkle deep in you

To the heart within that beats with care
And love that you have shared
The kindness deep within that you
Have shown, is always there

The stable unconditional
Hug that’s enveloped me
Through life – through good and bad you’ve been
A star Dad constantly

A star that’s shone a leading light
With a glow that lasts each day
Unceasingly encouraging me
Giving guidance on the way

And too you’ve been a role model to
Your grandchildren as well
A beacon in their lives that too
Shines out in ways that tell

And so dear Dad and Grandpa too
Be sure we love you so
For with heartfelt thanks and gratitude
You’re the best Dad that we each know!

 

Best Of The Bestest Dads

A day to celebrate the men
Who give their hearts and all
Imbue love unconditionally
That kick about the ball
Of daddy-hood to be the best
That they can truly be
In sacrifice to their offspring
Throughout all history

Who put themselves out to protect
The lives that they have made
In love with full integrity
That’s shown by what’s displayed
And given to their babies
That says ‘I’m here it’s true
And will be to the end of time
As I’ll always love you’

And to those men a hearty cheer
A glass raised up to say
That Dad’s like you are drops of gold
And always win the day!
For any man can be a father
But it takes a special lad
To go on to make the cut as the
Best of the bestest Dads

Dedicated to my Dad on this Father’s Day who, for sure, made the cut
