Michael Gelb Poet I do not know?

Fathers

Fathers

When you meet your girl and fall in love
It is do to cupid’s arrow shot from above

Your future should be in steps in life
You have fallen in love and asked her to be your wife

Your wife looks so pretty and it was a great marriage
When you have a child be proud when you’re pushing the carriage 

As a man to make a child is easy
To turn your back and walk away is no less than sleazy 

What a wonderful feeling it is in life
Being a good father and to love your wife

It is a great feeling when a child calls you daddy
It is heart breaking when a child asks do I have a daddy

It is hard enough on a child when a father dies
It is worse when the child has to grow up on lies

A father should do all he can for his family
Earn respect and love and to be the best he could be

Be a good man love your kids and love your wife                                                       
These are the best ingredients to make a good life

Billy Thekidster June 30, 2010 at 10:01 AM No truer words have ever been said. There'd be less dead beat Dads if your words to them were read. A father is a posiition that any man can have, but sadly, only a small majority of them truly earn the honorable title "Dad." Great Write Michael. Kidster
