One of my favorite songs of all times is “Daddy’s Hands” by Holly Dunn.

If you have never heard this song before, I hope you will take a minute to read the lyrics.

This song touches my heart.

I remember Daddy’s hands, folded silently in prayer.
And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare.
You could read quite a story, in the callouses and lines.
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy’s hands, how they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back, for something done right.
There are things that I’ve forgotten, that I loved about the man,
But I’ll always remember the love in Daddy’s hands.
