Daddy-Love

Daddy-Love For Boys

For a little boy, his daddy's love
must be a sacred call --
A love that will not let him down,
whatever may befall;
A love that will protect him
and one that he can trust --
He needs a daddy standing tall,
a dad who's kind and just;
A man that he can imitate
as boys are apt to do,
Who won't humiliate his son,
but teach him to be true.
A little boy just needs a dad
to show him how to live
So he'll grow up to be a man
with daddy-love to give.

"Follow God's example in everything you do
just as a much loved child imitates his father."
(Ephesians 5:1 - The Living Bible)

Daddy-Love For Girls

To tell her she is beautiful,
a little girl needs her dad.
She needs the refuge of his strength
when she is feeling sad;
To know he's her protector,
with arms that hold her near;
With daddy-love to snuggle her
and help to dry each tear.
She needs to be his precious girl
when giggles tumble out,
And sometimes get a horsey-back,
or share a tomboy shout!
Her daddy needs to honor her
with calm and steady tone;
She needs to know that daddy-love
will always be at home.

"Don't keep on scolding and nagging your children,
making them angry and resentful.
Rather, bring them up with the loving discipline
the Lord Himself approves...."
(Ephesians 6:4 - The Living Bible)
