I wished I had a daddy
To sit and talk with me,
A comfy cosy daddy
Who laughed contentedly.

A daddy who was wise
So gentle good and kind,
Who'd watch me very quietly
With love deep in his eyes.

I'd wish he'd potter here and there
In my garden and my home,
Fixing little problems
So I wouldn't feel alone.

A daddy all my very own
Who never went away,
Who'd scatter every storm cloud
And always be my stay.

He'd keep me tucked in and warm
All through the darkest night,
And give me songs to sing
To take away the fright.

And then, I realized, 'twas my Jesus
I couldn't have a daddy, truer,
My own Father's right here with me
In Him, I'm ever safe, secure.

Poetry From The Heart

It is enough for me to know
'Tis true because He says 'tis so;
On His unchanging Word I'll stand
And trust till I can understand.
