In a time when most fathers are totally absent, gone most of the time or physically present but mentally distracted, I'm proud to say that you've been there for us.
We may not shower you with praise.Sometimes, it may seem as though we forget the joy you spread as you go along. This doesnt't mean we don't know the wonderful role you have.
You've been there whenever you were needed, helped in many a way, whether by fixing something broken or knowing just what to say. You've led our household well, with instructions from the Bible. Compelling right behavior yet steering us with compassion, your gentle love being true. You conform to our Lord Jesus so we know just what to do. You teach us with purpose, guide us in all Godly ways, so we can take the right path and serve our Lord with praise.
With an understanding heart, a source of strength and of support you have been, right from the start. All the sacrifices you made, all the love you gave, the sweat you laid, all the joy and also the pain. A constant readiness to help in a kind and thoughtful way. With encouragement and forgiveness no matter what came your way.
Though now you look a little older, there's no difference I find in you as my father. You still teach me nothing wrong, guide me when I fall short of being strong, take care of all my important documents and always value my valuables.
You may have thought I didn't see, or that I hadn't heard, the life lessons you taught me. For sometimes I'm such a pain and almost cause you a ruptured brain, but I got every word. Perhaps you thought I missed it all and that we'd grow apart, but I picked up everything and it's written on my heart. I learn from you when you teach me, when I watch you do things and when I observe you just being you.
Did I ever say thank you? Thank you for all the toys, all the games we played? Did I ever say thank you for the sacrifices you made so I could be involved in so many enriching activities? Did I ever say thank you for working so hard to provide for us? Did I say thank you for having so much faith in me and always being there when I needed you?
When I was old enough to drive a car, you patiently taught me how. When things were hard for me in school, you helped me through my fears. Whenever I'm in trouble, you always have a plan and whenever I have problems, you're always there to assist.
Whatever is good in me today, I owe to your wisdom, your patience, strength and love. You taught me by example, as a role model, how to be my own person, how to believe in myself. Even when we disagreed, you held us together, so our bond was never broken.
Someday when I'm all grown up, you're all I'll want to be. Then maybe I'll have a little child who'll want to follow me and I would want to lead just right and know that I was true.
As a youth, I've sensed some hidden truth. During childhood, I was a little partial. At present, I'm completely impartial. I understand what you did to me and I'm forever grateful to have you as my solid foundation, my rock. I respect, admire and love you. My guiding light, my father.
I pray that one day, I'll take care of you when you're old with dentures too. And if you need a cane to walk, then I'll walk slow so we cancan talk.
Happy fathers day.
Loving son.
