As children, we can’t comprehend or fully realize
The meaning of a father’s love, how tender and how wise,
His patience and his guidance,
His helpful, caring ways,
The special, thoughtful things he does to brighten up the days.
Years go by before we know the depth of his concern,
The Love in his protectiveness—it takes so long to learn.
But as we grow, we understand, for we look back and see,
Through older eyes and wiser hearts, his love and loyalty.
It’s these and many other things that make him grow more dear,
More admired, and more appreciated with every passing year.
