Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Tetractys

Family Man

Family Man

Loves
his wife
and children
working weekdays
sacrificing his needs for theirs, willingly.

Repeatedly setting the examples 
his children watch
learning how
to grow
up

Robert A. Dufresne January 17, 2010 at 5:13 AM so very clear, concise, effective and exemplary of true love. Great Dane Ann! This must be just what tetracts were made to do.

Anthony Nutter January 17, 2010 at 4:15 AM You painted an excellent picture of what a father/husband should be. You must have some wonderful son-in-laws to dedicate this piece to them well done poetress.
