A father’s worth is indescribable

No one knows exactly what it is

But we can only speculate

He’s unique

With a variety of gifts

He looks good to us, with a sharp mind

And having a keen sense of humor

That’s easily discerned

He’s simply he

Dad has special tastes

He likes home cooked meals, pies,

Fine wines, and ginger beer

Loves to fellowship with friends

Appreciates and compliments their talents

Likes singing in the shower

And walking in the rain

That’s only some of the many qualities 

That are admirable about him

He’s tall, thoughtful, and disciplined

Likes sports and to be physically active

He has taken us on local trips

Fishing, hiking, and walking tours

He prides himself as being supportive 

Volunteers, and gives to charitable causes

He’s proud of his family

Referring to us as the apple of his eye

Dad’s a member of a religious faith

As an Anglican, he believes in sharing

Worshiping the Almighty

Giving thanks for all the good things

That have befallen us

So when we ask him his worth

He often says, “I’m priceless.

No money can buy me.

But all can share me.

My value is for all to see.
