What do you call him?

What do you call him?
The man who stands tall with a great grip?
The man that you look up to not because of height.
But because of respect and love he has for you.

He looks at you and sees
A perfect, beautiful, little girl.
Or a big, strong boy.
When he looks at you , he doesn't see braces on your teeth or legs.
he doesn't see a single scrape or scar.
He looks down on you with great love and generosity.

What do you call him?
A man who will hold you r hand when you need a friend.
A man who will give you advise.
A man who seems to know everything there is about life.
What do you call him?
I don't know exactly what you call him,
But I call him dad.
