FATHERS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE

Helen Steiner Rice

Fathers are wonderful people
      too little understood
And we do not sing their praises
      as often as we should
For somehow father seems to be
      the man who pays the bills
While mother binds up little hurts
      and nurses all our ills
And father struggles daily
      to live up to his image
As protector and provider
      and "hero of the scrimmage."

But perhaps that is the reason
      we sometimes gets the notion
That fathers are not subject
      to the thing we call emotion
But if you look inside dad's heart
      where no one else can see
You'll find he's sentimental
      and as "soft" as he can be
But he's so busy every day
      in the grueling race of life
He leaves the sentimental stuff
      to his partner and his wife.

But fathers are just wonderful
      in a million different ways
And they merit loving compliments
      and accolades of praise
For the only reason dad aspires
      to fortune and success
Is to make the family proud of him
      and to bring them happiness
And like our Heavenly Father
      he's a guardian and a guide
Someone that we can count on
      to be always on our side.
