Poem
Father man, valued planner and earner at your wife's side, pillar of our homes, children's needs are met with your fathering and in return you're a happy father. “Our Father in heaven...." pray the people, that's your appraisal. Respectful, knitting the social web is strong influence for your children. You're riding waves bringing home calmness. In the manhood of fathers I found mine, chance met choice. You fathered the way I needed to, and I am as you wished for me to be. We heard together rains and winds, but birds and singers too, and running waters, and mother's voice: "you two ....." mother was always overlooking. Oh mother.. Father said not me and I laughed, who was it then, liked to think of me as troublemaker because I was not. I looked for you in me, my children is my decision, you show me the road to bravery chasing the barking dog away, invulnerable on your shoulders I felt this world is mine too. Innocent cheater, I still wait to listen music in rainfall and I forget I don't like rain. You're a spirit in my mind and a man in our lives, you kept the rudder straight for us to have and we had. In bad times you said it's ok, you convinced me and so I felt. Noble manners with sharp cutting edges, you only gave in to mother, she said, you didn't answer, you laughed, you left. Your advice is reason, you said school is good, I believed you, I rip the gains now, mother first priority, yes she is, brothers and sisters above all, yes they are, bare children, look. With you in mind I went far in life and from there went further feeling secure in mind, where your strengths are mine too. I have a dreamed hope, for an honored child is parent's biggest honor. Changes dad, changes, you lied to me once and for all, your flesh was not made of the same staff as your bones, clocks measure mine now. Fathers's hearts, never cut their lives short.
