Latosha Mitchell Poet Rhyme

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.

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