My friend
You will always be the dad I love,
And always be my friend
Happy Father’s Day Dad
I’ll love you ’til the end
My Dad
If I could write a story,
It would be the greatest ever told.
I’d write about my daddy,
For he had a heart of gold.
My dad, he was no hero
Known around this world.
He was everything to me,
For I was his baby girl.
I’d write about the lessons.
He taught me right from wrong.
He instilled in me the values
That one day I’d be strong.
He taught me to face my fears,
Take each day as it comes,
For there are things that we can’t change.
He would say what’s done is done.
He would say hold your head up high,
Carry yourself with pride.
Thanks to him, I am somebody,
I will never run and hide.
If I could write a story,
It would be the greatest ever told.
I’d write about my daddy,
For he had a heart of gold.
– Vicky Fyre
Thanks for believing in me
Thank you dad for believing in me
Thank you for taking my side
Through all the ups and downs of life
And every bumpy ride!
Star Dad
I love you, Dad, and want you to know
I feel your love wherever I go
Whenever I’ve problems, you’re there to assist
The ways you have helped me would make quite a list
Your wisdom and knowledge have shown me the way
And I’m thankful for you as I live day by day
I don’t tell you enough how important you are
In my universe you’re a bright shining star
– Karl Fuchs
One day I’ll be big
One day I’ll be big like you
And strong and smart and brave
Dad you are a hero to me
Happy Fathers Day!
Dad
He never looks for praises
He’s never one to boast
He just goes on quietly working
For those he loves the most
His dreams are seldom spoken
His wants are very few
And most of the time his worries
Will go unspoken too
He’s there… A firm foundation
Through all the storms of life
A sturdy hand to hold
In times of stress and strife
A true friend we can turn to
When times are good or bad
One of our greatest blessings
The man that we call dad
