A Father's Love

The love a father shares for his child,
unlike no other bond on this planet,
The day his pride came into his life,
Not even all of King Midas's gold could 
have measured that moments worth,

A bond that transcends time,
Shielding his child with a love that 
never falters,
He will protect from all hate and 
misery,
No matter how wounded, he will lead his 
child to many great victories,

Greatness he hands to his child so bright 
and pure,
A father's love is an embrace that purges 
despair,
The lengths he will travel for his family, 
nothing else can compare.
