Poem
He taught me so much Of becoming a man At times our tempers And blood pressures ran But he was always there Always had my back And when I was in trouble He cut me no slack For the key to becoming A stand up guy Is to admit when you’re wrong And look them in the eye Accept the consequences For each of your mistakes A lot less time and grief Honesty takes Every time I got into trouble If I lied The punishment was double But this made me a better person This made me a better man No doubt about it He was my biggest fan When I was down He was there He had honesty and integrity Now a days that is rare We have had our differences We have had our fights Man sometimes They were a real sight Always he admitted When he was in the wrong That example Made me strong No other father Was more caring But at times It was overbearing For the longest while I didn’t hear a word he said Looking back I was a fool I had such a hard head We still argue With him I could always consult Now I hope he is proud Of his hard works result I made some of his hairs grey By my bone headed stunts Sometimes it seemed I was on trouble hunts In a while I will be moving Out my home His honor and character I only hope to own Someday I hope he says I raised you well For that day will come And I know his chest will swell Nothing makes a parent more proud Than their children’s success For this feeling Is the highest they can express I tell my father I will make him proud For the path He has plowed Now I need To take over the reigns I will not make a living with my back Its gonna be with my brains
