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 calluses 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 I'd
done right.
There are things I've forgotten
that I loved about that man,
but I'll always
remember the love in Daddy's
hands.
Daddy's hands were 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, I'd live my life again,
and never take
for granted the love in Daddy's
hands.
Daddy's hands were 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 picked this song, because since the day I heard it, It has always touched my heart,
and reminded me of my dad. I don't remember my dad in prayer,
but, I know that this is still coming. And in my silence and prayer,
God will hear, and he will be that man, I KNOW, this to be....
Because, God hears our prayers....
My Dad has always worked hard for us. He is strong, and great at
what he does. And, well Daddy's hands are hard not to forget!
In good times, and bad....As a little girl I always remember his
hands, big and strong.
I remember good things about my life and bad. I will
always Love you Daddy, I've always been your little girl, and always will.
