Father’s Day is certainly not as respected and popularly observed as Mother’s Day. There is a simple reason for this. Although many have difficult issues with their mothers, there is no doubt as to the extent a mother’s love and endurance can reach. The same isn’t as exact for fathers . This may be because men have a more difficult time expressing their feelings to their children, and many children go through life with the mistaken notion that their fathers don’t love them as much as their moms. This can be a disaster because fathers generally love their children dearly and often work long hours so that they can raise their children in comfort.
So….to all fathers…
-
Children need a Daddy
Children need a Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding them high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells them all is right
When they awaken frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in their hearts
And shows them how they might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving them the love
That is their sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
They’ll always find him there.
