Fathers

by

C. L. Riley

A helping hand in times of trouble,

A smile during times of trouble,

And a tender hand

To help me along the way,

Or guide me down life’s path.

Loving me no matter what,

Showing unceasing compassion,

Demonstrating a love like no other,

Being all that he can be,

Giving all he has

To be the very best

For me his child.

Caring,

Loving,

Giving,

You alone give all of this.

Your love is what makes me whole.

The fact that you give me everything

I could ever want or need,

Is more than I could imagine

Or even understand.

Your care for me while I’m sick

Is more beautiful and lovely

Than the daisies and flowers

That bathe and clothe the fields.

A helping hand in times of trouble,

A smile during times of trouble,

And a tender hand

To help me along the way,

Or guide me down life’s path.

Caring,

Loving,

Giving,

You are all of these and so much more to me.
