A Fathers Right

A Fathers Right

Many times between my children and I 
We wouldn’t always see eye to eye

They would tell me when I’m wrong
Or sometimes I might take to long

They sometimes get mad when I butt in
I remind them that where all kin

I tell them in my way
I love them every day

It’s a fathers right 
To love his children with all his might
