Daddy’s Prayers – A Poem by David Ritter

“Daddy’s Prayers” is a heartfelt Christian poem written from a father’s perspective — a timeless reflection on faith, love, and the enduring power of prayer. Each verse reminds us that even when distance or time separates loved ones, God’s presence connects every step.

Daddy’s Prayers

Dear Precious Child,

Let your Daddy’s prayers guide you
down the path you choose to trod,
so when you reach your journey’s end,
you will be face-to-face with God.

And may He look down upon you
with a forever-pleasing smile,
’cause Daddy’s prayers alerted Him
to your every step and mile.

No need to ever worry
how or where the course may lead,
if Daddy’s not near to help you,
surely God will provide each need.

In times when Daddy can’t be near,
loneliness may invade your heart.
Let your Daddy’s prayers guide you,
so we may never be apart.

Always in my prayers,
Love, Daddy

— David Ritter
