Earlier this evening Hannah wasn’t feeling well and Daddy went in to see if she wanted anything, he came back a little later to check again and when he left Hannah sat up and said “I think I could write a poem about Daddy right now!” So with paper and pencil for the next few minutes she busily scribbled out this little poem… =)
My Daddy’s Gentleness
I wish that all the world could hear,
The song my heart is singing.
About my gentle Daddy,
To whom my heart is clinging.
I wish that every girl could have,
A Daddy like my own.
To get a glimpse of true manhood,
That is in these modern days unknown.
My Daddy’s hand can be so gentle,
When he lays it on my head,
His loving lips are a storehouse of blessing.
…my heart replays things he has said…
His tender eyes shine out with love,
I could look into them forever.
He can make up a poem in the blink of an eye.
His wit is an endless treasure!
He’s the man of my dreams, King of my heart,
And Hollywood’s men can’t compare.
There is none so gentle and good,
Unselfishly loving and true,
As the man I get to call “Daddy”.
At the sight of his face, my heart sings “I love you!”
