As we travel down the river of life
there is no one who can compare
to the Dad who loves and cares for us
we know he will always be there

To teach us right from wrong
and that life is not always fair
to help us when we trip and fall
by things that we are unaware

We may not always agree with him
nor he with us, I'm sure
but he will always love us
and make us feel secure



So as the river parts
and we go our separate ways
the love our Dad has for us
will be with us all the days

Show your Dad how much you love him
and how much he means to you....

Happy Father's Day to all you great
Dads. 
I love you Daddy and miss you...

Daddy's Hands

I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare
you could read quite a story in the callous' and lines
years of work and worry had left their mark behind

I remember daddy's hands how they held my mama tight
and patted my back for something done right
there are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man
but I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying
daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
daddy's hands weren't always gentle, but I've come to understand
there was always love in daddy's hands

I remember daddy's hands working til they bled
sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed
if I could do things over, I'd live my life again
and never take for granted the love in daddy's hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying
daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
daddy's hands weren't always gentle, but I've come to understand
there was always love in daddy's hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying
daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
daddy's hands weren't always gentle, but I've come to understand
there was always love in daddy's hands
