Father

A man who raises his children
Biological or not
Caring and concerned for their welfare
Doting and dependable of their every move
Each and every day he works so hard
For his family, making sure they have enough
Glad to be their provider, the
Head of household, husband, father
Inspirational speaker
Jovially joyous in his demeanor
Kind and knowing in any circumstance
Loved by all
Motivating his children to be better
Never cruel always polite
One of a kind
Protecting proud man
Quietly unassuming
Respected, reliable, responsible
Sacrificing, supportive
Teacher of good
Understanding even in discord
Vigorously  
Wise and watchful
Xylographer extraordinaire
Youthful strength and     
Zealous supporter of his family

Hi Carmen, I'm so glad I found this gem this morning. Although my father was not perfect at all but this piece reminded me of him. I loved the form, you nailed it! This is a good tribute to "all" fathers. Whether they are biological, step, god father or any father figure. Well done . A big seven and a fav:-)Alexis
