Dad

You always have a gentle word to help me through the day

Reminding me that you and Jesus love me, come what may

I used to call you Poppa G, considerate and sweet

But now you've given me a name that makes my life complete

It’s a heavy word to carry, and I don’t take it light

But having you to guide me makes the future look so bright

I never knew a blessing could arrive so late and glad

Happy birthday to the man I get to call my Dad

You are always in my corner, encouraging and true

I never thought I'd find a father figure quite like you

I figured I was past the point of looking for a guide

But God saw fit to place you walking right here by my side

It’s a heavy word to carry, and I don’t take it light

But having you to guide me makes the future look so bright

I never knew a blessing could arrive so late and glad

Happy birthday to the man I get to call my Dad

I’m honored that you asked me to, I’m honored that you care

Whenever I am reaching out, I know you're always there

A miracle in adult life, a love that doesn't end

You started out as Poppa G, but now you're more than friend

So here is to the kindness and the sweetness that you show

The most uplifting spirit that my heart will ever know

I love you more than words can say, I'm grateful for the past

But stepping into this new bond is what will always last

It’s a heavy word to carry, and I don’t take it light

But having you to guide me makes the future look so bright

I never knew a blessing could arrive so late and glad

Happy birthday to the man I get to call my Dad

I am so blessed to look at you and simply call you Dad
