Walk a little slower, Daddy, Said a little child so small. I’m following in your footsteps And I don’t want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they are hard to see; So, walk a little slower, Daddy, For you are leading me. Someday when I’m all grown up, You’re what I want […]
I remember daddy’s hands folded silently in prayer And reachin’ 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 […]
When I was just a tiny kid, Do you remember when, The time you kissed my bruises, Or cleaned by soiled chin? You scrambled for the balls I hit, (Short-winded more than not,) Yet, every time we’d play a game, You praised the "outs" I caught. It seems like only yesterday, You wiped away my […]

They boldly face the ups and downs And seldom ever fuss. Our fathers are the greatest dads. We know you know this, […]
Did I ever say thanks for all the toys you mended, games we played, outings to the park, and the way you always tried to cheer me when I was down? Did I ever say thanks for the sacrifices you made so I could be involved in so many enriching activities? Did I ever say […]
As I ponder the love that I saw in his eyes, A Godly love, given without compromise…. I recall many times that he stood by my side, And prodded me on with great vigor and pride. His voice ever confident, firm and yet fair, Always speaking with patience, tenderness and care. The power and might […]
When I was born I had a different dad; and when GOD took him I got very mad. My heart is was broken when I heard I lost my dad; I’ll never forget the day we were all so sad. I never wanted anyone to try to take his place; I thought no one else […]
