He may be big and tall to you, but to me he’s the perfect size
He may be intimidating to you, but he’s gentle enough to suppress even the most subdued of cries.
He’s always been there for me, through the good and bad
He’s always been there to hold me tight when I am feeling sad.
From my youthful years, he took on a role so meaningful to me
He pushed me to do better, to be all that I could be.
He held my hand when I was afraid of the dark,
He biked with me and skipped with me to and from the park
His strong hands bound my hair in a pony, the same hands that work for me every day
The hands that are worn and beaten down, but in my heart I know they’re there to stay.
He may be overcome with headache and fatigue, but he’d never let anyone in on his pain,
He finds there is no reason for others to know, there truly is no gain.
Protective as fathers really should strive to be
He is my guardian and my guide and is always there to oversee
I think it’s gonna be a long time before people realize what this man means to me
And I think it’s gonna be a long time before people know that I wouldn’t give up the love that I have for him—a love as endless as the sea.
He taught me to play sports, he taught me how to hug
He taught me how to run, he taught me how to love.
He pushed me to grow in my faith each and every day
He strived to know the truth in every possible way.
He doesn’t know everything, but always just enough
Enough for him to stay in my life and always stay gentle yet tough.
He taught me how to fight for myself, how to defend myself when I need it the most
He taught me to stand up for myself and never boast.
His patience overwhelmed me as he listened to word after boring word
Some of the craziest things I’d speak I knew he’d never heard.
He’ll always be there for me when I need it,
He’ll always love me and be here with me even in spirit.
I don’t need any more love than what I’ve already got,
I’ve got a daddy who’ll love me forever and always, just as he aught
I don’t need anyone to tell me how to live my life,
My daddy’s always taught me to live every moment without stress and strife.
I don’t need anyone to push me to be more than the woman I’ve become,
My daddy’s always loved me and will for years and years to come
I don’t need to impress anyone or go searching for love,
My daddy’s been my number one fan, always cheering from front row over and above
My daddy and me are pals til the very end
Father and daughter bound together forever, the very best of friends.
