O’ Father
HMRyan 1977 (New York)
O’ Father of mine
Tender kisses on her forehead
Soft caresses across her cheek
Affectionate commands guiding the way
While hands of Midas keep her fears at bay
Gentle fingers always there to sweep her tears away
Just to keep his Princess on her pedestal anyway
O’ Father of time
A father’s touch heals
A father’s heart reaches miles without even moving
A father’s hand teaches hard lessons learned
Her father’s protective love grows deeps inside
A father’s embrace makes everything alright
A father’s respect and pride is his greatest gift
A father’s legacy is the integrity that lives long beyond his grave
O’ Father of love
His loyalty speaks volumes
His morality is unmatched
His family is untouchable
His protection is unparalleled
His persistence always perseveres
His passion is hunger-driven
O’ Father up above
Your mercy keeps me going
Your strength keeps me strong
Your courage keeps me believing and
Your unconditional love keeps me safe
Your faith keeps me flying
Your truth sets me free
Your forgiveness is undeserved and
Your compassion is always there
O’ Father
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for always supporting me
Thank you for always trying to understand
Thank you for teaching me life’s most important lessons
Thank you for being there for me
Thank you for always loving me
Thank you, Love always
