Daddy's Hands

A little Tribute to Dad

As parents we don't always do things just right. Many times we do it all wrong. Yet, we need to remember our parents and their efforts to create a good home and raise us right! 
If you have any animosity toward your Dad or Mom, get it out of your system. It cause you more damage and pain than anyone else. 

Poison kills the one that it is in.

I remember daddy’s hands folded silently in prayer

And reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare

You could read quite a story in the callouses and lines

Years of work and worry had left their mark behind

I remember daddy’s hands, how they held my mama

tight

And patted my back for something done right

There are things that I’ve forgotten that I love about the man

But I’ll always remember the love in daddy’s hands

CHORUS

Daddy’s hands, soft and kind when I was crying

Daddy’s hands were hard as steel when I’d done

wrong

Daddy’s hands weren’t always gentle, but I’ve come to understand

There was always love in daddy’s hands

I remember daddy’s hands working ‘til they bled

Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed

If I could do things over and live my life again

I’d never take for granted the love in daddy’s hands
