Kids & Parenting

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!
