Almost unnatural;
It rings in my ears,
Like a shrill bell it chimes---
Yet I find it beautiful.

You are my father
And though stern,
With love you guide me----
Your laughter a mark of affection.

Without you I'd be lost,
A part of myself missing;
I would not be complete---
A daughter with only a mother.

Thank you dad
For being my protector,
And my friend------
Your laughter leads me home.

Your laugh is rough,
Almost unnatural;
It rings in my ears,
Like a shrill bell it chimes---
Yet I find it beautiful.

You are my father
And though stern,
With love you guide me----
Your laughter a mark of affection.

Without you I'd be lost,
A part of myself missing;
I would not be complete---
A daughter with only a mother.

Thank you dad
For being my protector,
And my friend------
Your laughter leads me home.
