：父親的愛
Fathers seldom say "I love you"
父親們很少說"我愛妳"
Though the feeling's always there,
雖然那份感覺壹直都在那
But somehow those three little words
但不知道為什麽這小小的三個字
Are the hardest ones to share.
卻最難與人分享
And fathers say "I love you"
而父親說"我愛妳"
In ways that words can't match--
用言語沒法比擬的方式
With tender bed time stories
或是溫和地在床頭講故事
Or a friendly game of catch!
或是壹場友好的捉迷藏遊戲
You can see the words "I love you"
妳可以看到"我愛妳"這些字
In a father's boyish eyes
從父親孩子氣的眼睛裏
When he runs home,all excited,
當他興奮地跑回家
With a poorly wrapped surprise.
臉上帶著難以掩飾的驚喜
A father says "I love you"
父親說"我愛妳"
With his strong helping hands
用他強有力的援助之手
With a *** ile when you're in trouble
用他的微笑幫妳度過難關
With the way he understands.
用他所理解的方式
He says "I love you" haltingly.
他躊躇地說"我愛妳"
With awkward tenderness--
帶著笨拙的溫柔
It's hard to help a four-year-old into a party dress!
幫壹個四歲小孩穿上派對禮服實在是不容易!
He speaks his love unselfishly
他無私地表達他的愛
By giving all he can
付出他的全部
To make some secret dream e true.
讓心底的夢想成真
Or follow through a plan.
或追求壹個計劃
A father's seldom-spoken love
父親很少說出口的愛
Sounds clearly through the years--
隨著光陰流逝變得清晰
Sometimes in peals of laughter,
有時在響亮的笑聲中
Sometimes through happy tears.
有時在歡樂的淚水中
Perhaps they have to speak their love
可能他們表達他們的愛
In a fashion all their own.
只能用自己的方式
Because the love that fathers feel
因為父親的愛
Is too big for words alone!
絕非言語所能詮釋
：What Makes a Dad?
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The forting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagles in flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God bined these qualities,
And there was nothing more to add,
He knew his masterpiece was plete,
And He called it – Dad.

Be Kind to Thy Father
"Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he?
He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue,
And joined in thy innocent glee."
Margaret Courtney
What Is A Dad?
A Dad is a person who is loving and kind,
And often he knows what you have on your mind.
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!

Dad
He doesn't stand out in a crowd, just an average, regular guy,
But to me he's a king and stands near ten feet high.
He loves and understands me, whether I am good or bad.
They'll make the man that I will be, the hours I spend with Dad.

My Dad
I love someone dearly.
He's kind as can be;
He makes me so happy;
He's my dad, you see.
He takes me out fishing;
We play ball and swim;
He knows about everything;
I'm so proud of him.
And as I get bigger,
I just want to grow
To be like my daddy
'Cause I love him so.
Hazel Fletcher Young
Only a Dad
Only a dad with a tired face,
ing home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game;
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him e and to hear his voice.
Only a dad with a brood of four,
One of ten million men or more
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and the scorns of life,
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.
Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may e his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.
Only a dad but he gives his all,
To *** ooth the way for his children *** all,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.
