A little girl needs her Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
She'll always find him there.
A little girl needs her Daddy,
For many, many things:
Like calling her a princess,
And for pushing on the swings.
For loving her to pieces,
And for tucking her in at night.
A little girl needs her Daddy
To hug her real, real tight.

What Makes A Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need.
Then God combined these qualities.
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... "DAD!"
God made the world with towering trees, majestic mountains,
and restless seas.
Then paused and said, It needs one more thing. . . someone
to laugh and dance and sing.
To walk in the woods and gather flowers. . . to commune
with nature in quiet hours."
So God made little girls with laughing eyes and bouncing
curls,
with joyful hearts, and infectious smiles, enchanting ways
and feminine wiles.
And when He'd completed the task He'd begun, He was pleased
and proud of the job He'd done.
For the world, when seen through a little girl's eyes greatly
resembled Paradise.

A child's love is like a whisper,
If you listen very closely
this is what you'll hear.
Daddy, will you play with me?
Mommy, tie my shoe?
They often do not say it loud,
but in how they come to you...
Dad, I made the team today!
Mom, I got an "A".
They grow up in a hurry,
listen carefully to the whispers,
they come in a flurry.
Pop, I need some money,
You see there's...this girl at school.
Mama, I met a boy today
and Wow, he's so cool!
Dad, I've got something to tell you...
I think she is the one!
Mom, he asked me to marry him.
Would you love him as your son?
Dad, I've got some news for you...
It's going to be a boy!
Mom, I'm kind of scared of this,
yet I'm filled with joy!
A child's love is like a whisper,
If you listen very closely
this is what you'll hear.
Grandpa, will you play with me?
Grandma, tie my shoe?
They often do not say it loud,
but in how they come to you...
These special little whispers
are a blessing from above.
Listen to the whispers of a child's love
