A Father In His Eyes

You are a father in his eyes An angel in disguise And even though your blood does not run through his veins The love and care that you give, it stains. What more of a gift to give a young boy who is very impressionable Than an excellent, positive role model to look up to You have captured his world And made time to be a part So much that he has created a home for you In his heart I want to thank you for being the perfect father figure to my child And all that you do. On this day and always I am grateful for you.

What a wonderful poem, Latosha. To have someone like that in your sons life is truly a blessing. Not only for your son but also for you. Sounds like a very happy family. A joy to read.... Robert.

Clinton's remark, "It takes a village..."
