What Are Father's Made Of

In my eyes, a Father is made to be strong and tall. To catch his children when they fall. A hint of mischief, a dash of pride. To help his children on life's ride. With confidence, his words are true. Soothing emotions when they're blue. With gentle hands and a loving heart. He cares for his children from the start. He imparts his wisdom as they grow. His life's experiences to them bestow. And when it's time for them to move away. In his heart they'll always stay. He protects his children from any harm. With whatever methods - even charm. He'll listen to their problems one and all. Always there at a moments notice to take their call. He races through life to support his family. With the necessities to make them happy. When the children are grown it's time to retire. With other hobbies or activities to acquire.

You have written a Timeless piece, that needed to be written. Hope it gives a big wake-up call to those who need it. I was an early childcare teacher for 30 years and have written a book called 'Suffer the Little Children"self published through xlibris. There are too many children not getting the father they need and deserve. We all need to work together on this. Best regards David in NZ
