Fathers

For our survival
You win our bread
In our pursuit rival
You show us a good head
On every crooked path
You, a good lead
There are friends 
You are a more than...
Just like a mother.

To our 'Daddy'
A listening ear always
Courage to make hays
In the sun pelting rays
A true hand lending
Defines you a better father.

Under your arms
Secured and cared for
A true defence
When in murky trials
A chastening reliance
That checks every offence.

You teach me
To be a better person
For every lesson
Springs of wisdom

Thank you...
For God...For you
The best dad.
