Single Dad

He was not one of wealth and fame And no one even knew his name. He was just known as dad, the only father they ever had. He worked long hours for very little pay Yet their clothes were clean every day. He never lost hope, yet he learned to cope. He worked at night so he could stay with his children during the day. He would give them breakfast then take them to school So that they could learn the golden rules. His routine was always the same- it would hardly ever change. Clean the house, take a nap, and for the children prepare a snack. Then start to prepare for dinner, which wasn’t always a winner. Yet they ate healthy and never went without Of that there is no doubt. In the afternoon pick up the kids and bring them home During the day they were never alone. They would change their clothes then have a snack While he took another nap. They did their homework when he slept In the softness of his bed. He would then wake up and dinner he would serve And not a complaint was ever heard They would say grace and he would ask:” how was your day?” Wash the dishes and put them away. They could watch TV. until it was nine Take their showers and then bedtime. This was the life of a single DAD , and it was the best part of his life he ever had. CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING!
