I Want to Be Just Like You

In a time when fathers are totally absent,
gone most of the time,

you are there for me—
looking at me, listening to me
understanding me, talking with me.
You make time for me
even when it's inconvenient for you.
You make me feel important to you.

I learn from you when you teach me,
when I watch you do things,
and when I observe you
just being you—a terrific father.

Every affectionate smile you give me,
every pat on the back, every hug
shows me you love me,
that you're proud of me.

These are things I'll remember
to do for my own kids.
You're a great role model, Dad.
I want to be just like you.

in his household.
Your routine may not seem valuable to you,

We'd all be so contented,
We wouldn't need a jail.

If everyone had a father
Who was more like you,
The whole world would be blessed,
Just as I am blessed with you.

It defied understanding, I thought, every night,
Till one day I saw, and was amazed by the sight.

You were hanging your cape on a hidden door.

You're the very best man I ever knew;
I hope to be a super person like you.

Many people are searching for a Fathers Day song. As I've said elsewhere, the melodies for most familiar Protestant hymns are in the public domain, so I looked again to a Protestant hymnal for the melody for a Fathers Day song. This song has the essential ingredients for a good Father poem—love, respect, admiration—that should be included in a poem on dad.  You can use this poem of father lyric in a fathers day card, too, since it's a Father's Day poem. The melody is from the familiar hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name." Note that there are two melodies with the same lyric, so be sure to look for the one written by Oliver Holden. As always, check for copyrights on recent additions to the original music, and if they exist, just don't use the additions; use the original melody. As is, this melody is not easy enough for little kids, so feel free to change a few notes to make it easier.

Essential Father

My dad is my role model for
Most everything I do.
I look to him to see what's right
He always gets me through.
(Repeat last two lines)

I hope my father knows how much
I love him and I care.
He is my hero and my rock,
My dad is always there.
(Repeat last two lines)

My father is essential to
My life and happiness.
My feelings are so strong for him,
My heart cannot express.
(Repeat last two lines)

There's so much more about my dad
That I would like to say,
But now I'll end by saying to you Dad,
Happy Father's Day.
(Repeat last two lines)

Lord, please bless our fathers,

who are greatly responsible
for who we are and who we are becoming.
Bless them for having the courage
to do what's necessary to keep us out of trouble,
for making us do the right thing,
for helping us build our character,
even when it makes us angry;
and bless them for pushing us to do our best,
even when they just want to love us.
Bless our fathers for being our protectors,
for leading us through stormy times to safety,
for making us believe that everything will be all right
and for making it so.
Bless our fathers for quietly making a living
to provide for those they love most,
for giving us food, clothing, shelter
and other necessary and not so necessary material things,
for unselfishly investing time and money in us
that they could have spent on themselves.
Bless our fathers, Lord,
for saving some energy for fun,
for leading us on adventures
to explore the outer reaches of ourselves,
for making us laugh,
for being our playmates and our friends.
Bless them for being our secure foundation, our rock,
for holding on tight to us...until it's time to let us go.
Lord, bless these men we look up to,
our role models, our heroes,
our fathers.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
