To a Wonderful Father

For every moment you have spent helping to make things right
For every time you helped tuck them in at night
For every time you waited patiently while they tried to ties their shoes
For every meal choice, you let them choose.

For every word of encouragement you have shown
For every time you sternly said, "Get off that phone".
For each and every little thing you have done to show you care
Weathering the storms when they thought that you, they could dare.

As a Father, you are loved for your stern yet caring ways
For being by their sides, to guide, teach and love, each and every day.
