我們一般不會稱呼自己的父親為父親，多種的稱呼。如“爸爸”“dad”等才是我們的日常稱呼。同一種身份，但是父親不是爸爸。下面，我們來欣賞一首詩歌。
A father and a dad are not the same:
父親和爸爸有著不同的含義
One can be a dad and not a father,
一個人可能是爸爸但不是父親
Or one can be a father and not bother
或者他可能是父親不能去打擾
To earn through love the more endearing name.
因為愛，會賦予“父親”這個詞更多含義。
Some find fatherhood a bit too tame,
有人發現父子關係太平淡
Leaving all the details to the mother,
他把很多細節都拋給了母親
Or dumping the sweet burden on another
或者他把這甜蜜的負擔拋給別人
Man with just a passing twinge of shame.
而他自己只會感到一時的羞愧
You have been our dad so many years
你已經成為我們的爸爸好多年了
That you’ve become the landscape that is home,
那你也成為一個風景那就是家
The mountain that we look to from afar.
你是我們遠遠觀望的`一座大山
No matter where we go we’re not alone,
不管我們去哪裡我們都不會孤單
For you remain within to still our fears
因為你永遠在我們心中安慰我們的畏懼
And be the word that tells us who we are.
告訴我們自己是誰
最後，送給大家一首Keith Urban的歌——“Song for Dad”。
Song For Dad Keith Urban英語歌詞：
Lately I've been noticing
I say the same things he used to say
And I even find myself acting the very same way
I tap my fingers on the table
To the rhythm in my soul
And I jingle the car keys
When I'm ready to go
When I look in the mirror
He's right there in my eyes
Starin' back at me and I realize
The older I get
The more I can see
How much he loved my mother and my brother and me
And he did the best that he could
And I only hope when I have my own family
That everyday I see
A little more of my father in me
There were times I thought he was bein'
Just a little bit hard on me
But now I understand he was makin' me
Become the man he knew that I could be
In everything he ever did
He always did with love
And I'm proud today to say I'm his son
When somebody says I hope I get to meet your dad
I just smile and say you already have
He's in my eyes
My heart, my soul
My hands, my pride
And when I feel alone
And I think I can't go on
I hear him sayin' "Son you'll be alright"
Everything's gonna be alright"
Yes it is
That he loved my mother and my brother and me
Oh I hope I see
I hope everyday I see
I hope everyday I see in me
In me
