"Happy Father's Day"
What do you give a man who has given you so much?
More than you could ever hope for or repay...
How do you thank father for his emotional touch?
More than printed and verbal words could say...
I will try to say Happy Father's Day with clear eyes
Though the effort may be foolishly in vain...
I will try to say Happy Father's Day with no sighs
Because my love for you falls like a pounding rain...
What can be done on my part to express my gratitude?
More than simply thanking you again and again...
How do I accomplish something more than a platitude?
More than acknowledging you are my dear friend...
I will try to say Happy Father's Day with a roar
Perhaps getting my thoughts a little confused...
I will try to say Happy Father's Day while I soar
Because love for you without saying it is abused...
What can I express with the words written here?
More than some sons do for what they receive...
How do I better a man who taught me to fight fear?
More proof my father is what I want to achieve...
I will try to say Happy Father's Day with pride
Maybe getting the words just about right...
I will try to say Happy Father's Day by your side
Because it's your love that made my life bright...
WITH ALL MY LOVE FOR YOU DAD TODAY & ALWAYS,
TONY
