Daddy speaks in many different tones,
\nAt the time of birth until you are grown;
\nHe uses these voices as a guide,
\nTo set rules, which his children must abide.<\/p>\n
First, is the voice of authority,
\nIt shows his towering seniority;
\nDaddy may sometimes deny a request,
\nKids feel saying no is what he does best.<\/p>\n
Second, comes a timeless expression,
\nOne that will not bring about depression;
\nHappiness is among Daddy’s favorite traits,
\nAn “I Love You” makes a smile easy to create.<\/p>\n
Next is a man who looks cross,
\nHe only shows kids who’s boss;
\nAlthough, Daddy’s upset when youv’e done wrong,
\nHis firm but gentle hand makes children strong.<\/p>\n
Finally, Daddy shows an assertion of reason,
\nIt’s a voice reserved for every season;
\nWeather it be winter, summer, fall, or spring,
\nI always cherish the joy that Daddy brings.<\/p>\n
