Fathers Are Wonderful People
Fathers are wonderful people
Ttoo little understood
And we do not sing their praisesas often as we should…
For, somehow, Father seems to be the man who pays the bills
While Mother binds up little hurts and nurses all the ills…
And Father struggles daily to live up to "His image"
As protector and provider and "hero of the scrimmage"…
And perhaps that is the reasonwe sometimes get the notion
That Fathers are not subject to the thing we call emotion,
But if you look inside Dad's heartwhere no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental and as "soft" as he can be…
But he's so busy every day in the grueling race of life
He leaves the sentimental stuff to his partner and his wife…
But 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 bring them happiness…
And like our Heavenly Father, he's a guardian and a guide,
Someone that we can count onto be always on our side.
