Do I Know About Dad

I am going to write something about fathers
Yeah
What do I know?
I know a lot
I know that fathers care for their children
I know that they wonder whether they do something right
I know that they wish they have a book 
so they can follow
I know they toss and turn
and wonder how they can make theirs a good family
I know that they like to see things for themselves
I know that they make decisions based on the wives
Yeah, my friend 
You do
Don't say you don't
because that is how God made you to be
- a wife's pleaser
Someone is going to k me
I am just kidding
But I am not kidding about the pleasing part
If you want a good home, please the wife
Okay don't please the wife
Don't listen to me
But you will listen to your wife
if you know what is good for you hehe
Just thought I wrap you up
in one sitting
But can't do that
You are more than one sitting
You are the major of the universe
You are the voice of your little ones
You know what they need
and what they will become
Do you?
Dad?
