Happy Father's Day, Dad
One Day Isn't Enough
Ah, daddy, you may not be able to remember
all the ways you have guarded my heart
That I know, everything you surrendered
to help, so my steps weren't so hard
For the times you took my burden on you
to help me build a future, stress free
All the lengths that you gladly went through
to show me, how much you loved me
But I knew that long before I was grown up
from my earliest memories, I could see
It was never about the having the cool stuff
you were teaching me, love was the key
So today, I want just to remind you
I am grateful for all that I have
All I could ever dream, surely came true
because I am blessed, to call you "my dad"

You are one of the lucky ones. So happy you have such great dad memories.
So tender & sweet. I pray you are able to share it with him & that he might know that it is not for one day a year only but for always that you hold this love (his & yours) in your heart.
