And Father struggles daily
To live up to his image
As protector and provider
And hero of the scrimmage

And perhaps that
is the reason
We sometimes get the notion
That Fathers are not subject
To the thing we call emotion,

But if you look inside
Dad's heart,
Where no one else can see,
You'll find he's sentimental
And as soft as he can be

Fathers are just wonderful
In a million different ways,
And they merit loving compliments

And accolades of praise,
For the only reason
Dad aspires
To fortune and success
Is to make the family
proud of him
And to bring them happiness

And like Our
Heavenly Father,
He's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we
can count on
To be always on our side.
