A father walked me down the aisle
But he wasn’t you.
A father supported me on my graduation day
But he wasn’t you.
A father proposed a toast on my wedding day
But he wasn’t you.
A father comforted me through my time of sorrow
But he wasn’t you.
A father gave me marital counselling
But he wasn’t you.
I have a father who prays with, and for me
But it should’ve been you.
I have a father who I can turn to for guidance
But it should’ve been you.
I have a father who calls to see how I’m doing
But it should’ve been you.
I have a father who embraces me as a daughter
But it should’ve been you.
Today I resent no more,
For my heavenly Father’s love is true.
He has erased resentment.
He’s given me a heart that’s renewed.

Dear Dad,
My renewed heart, filled with God’s unconditional love, enabled me to search for you. Now I’m thankful that I’ve found you. And I just want you to know that I love you. I have such peace inside that ignites the joy I so longed for. His love is contagious I know you’ll catch it too. May you find that peace within, that true love brings. You still have a place in my heart and I will always love you. Though I’ve never seen your face, from my heart you will never depart.
I love you dad.
Happy Father’s Day!

My heart hurts for you. No child should grow up without the love and support (emotional) of her/his father. Yes, we have a Heavenly Father, and the Scriptures say,(ad-lib) When your father and mother forsake you, then He (the Lord) will 'pick' you up...I think you are referring to your Heavenly Father in this article. Right?...Helen
