A father’s love
Fathers seldom say “I love you”
Though the feeling’s always there,
But somehow those three little words
Are the hardest ones to share.
And fathers say “I love you”
In ways that words can’t match–
With tender bed time stories
Or a friendly game of catch!
You can see the words “I love you”
In a father’s boyish eyes
When he runs home,all excited,
With a poorly wrapped surprise.
A father says “I love you”
With his strong helping hands
With a smile when you’re in trouble
With the way he understands.
He says “I love you” haltingly.
With awkward tenderness–
It’s hard to help a four-year-old into a party dress!
He speaks his love unselfishly
By giving all he can
To make some secret dream come true.
Or follow through a plan.
A father’s seldom-spoken love
Sounds clearly through the years–
Sometimes in peals of laughter,
Sometimes through happy tears.
Perhaps they have to speak their love
In a fashion all their own.
Because the love that fathers feel
Is too big for words alone!
父亲的爱
父亲们很少说“我爱你”
虽然那份感觉一直都在那
但不知道为什么这小小的三个字
却最难与人分享
而父亲说“我爱你”
用言语没法比拟的方式
或是温和地在床头讲故事
或是一场友好的捉迷藏游戏
你可以看到“我爱你”这些字
从父亲孩子起的眼睛里
当他兴奋地跑回家
脸上带着难以掩饰的惊喜
父亲说“我爱你”
用他强有力的援助之手
用他的微笑帮你度过难关
用他所理解的方式
他踌躇地说“我爱你”
带着笨拙的温柔
帮一个四岁小孩穿上派对礼服实在是不容易！
他无私地表达他的爱
付出他的全部
让心底的梦想成真
或追求一个计划
父亲很少说出口的爱
随着光阴流逝变得清晰
有时在响亮的笑声中
有时在欢乐的泪水中
可能他们表达他们的爱
只能用自己的方式
因为父亲的爱
绝非言语所能诠释
