A Tribute To the King

The King of the jungle the lion loudly roars And the Lioness immediately pays attention The cubs step back but still look up in sheer awe Because this majestic King of the jungle is their Dad At the feeding bowl even the birds step aside for Dad He generally eats first and they pay him his due respect In our world he is Dad, Daddy, Fathers Pops and old man He is there and his seed has provided us all with life In our early years he works for our survival every day And when grown he is always still there providing love He teaches us how to survive and how to love and live Offers us throughout a lifetime knowledge and wisdom Teaches us how to survive after a fall and continue on His loving hugs comfort when all suddenly seems lost He always fights for our survival, our dreams and our failures He is a man also has his own frailties and his own fears But he is our light out of the darkness throughout life He chides us, corrects us, teases and loves us unconditionally Thank you, Dad, Daddy, Father, Pops and the old man Thank you for always being there and for being our hero!
