Ａ Ｆａｔｈｅｒ＇ｓ Ｌｏｖｅ

父親們很少說“我愛你”。雖然那份感覺一直都在，但不知道為什么這簡單的三個(gè)字他們卻最難與人分享。然而父親說“我愛你”的方式是用言語沒法比擬的：或是溫和地在床頭講故事，或是一場友好的捉迷藏游戲……

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!
