God Bless You Dad





For all the hard work that you do
For sacrifices left unsaid
While we reap the rewards of it
We simply say,
God bless you, Dad

For all the times that you’ve said no
To invitations that you’ve had
To have some fun with just the guys
But you chose home
God bless you, Dad

For all those things you do without
To keep a roof over our heads
Yet never tally or keep score
We pray this day
God bless you, Dad

God bless you Dad, too many times
We criticize instead of praise
It seems to me that you must be
The unsung hero
Of our days

For all those times we didn’t speak
The tender words we should have said
Today we want to take the time
To say, thank-you
God bless you, Dad
