Whether they call you Grandpa, brother or Dad , you are the one
That takes care of things when they need to be done
And sometimes it seems they have forgotten you
Until the phone rings with a simple " How are you?"
At least once each year there is a special day
Set aside to acknowledge your worth, " as they say"
The requests that they give you are done without regret
And a feeling of "fathering" might be all that you get
With the cards you were dealt in this family of yours
You dedicated your life and your health in so many hours
The rewards you'll receive are not in a gift
A simple "thank you" could bring your life such a lift
So remembering your works on this special day
You've helped all your children in so many ways
If you think you've done little and don't stand too tall
As a father you were there and stood out above all
Happy Father's Day
