He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends -- A dad can be one of your very best friends. He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong, A dad can be patient and helpful and strong. In all that you do, a dad's love plays a part-- There's always a place for him deep in your heart-- And each year that passes you're even more glad, More grateful and proud just to call him your dad.
