What shall I give my young son ?

What shall I give to one so small boy?
A glamorous game, a tinseled toy?

A Barlow knife, a puzzle pack,
A train that runs on curving track?

A picture book, a real live pet --
No, there's plenty of time for such things like that.

I know!  I'll give him a day for his very own--
Just one small boy and his dad alone.

A walk in the woods, a romp in the park,
A fishing trip from dawn till dark.

AH, 'tis true, I'll give the gift that, in His heart shall live;
A Dad's companionship, that no one else can give.
 
For games are outgrown, and toys decay, 
But he'll never forget--
if I give him a day!

Thanks to all the great dads
that take time
to give them a day. . .
