Good Man

A good man may look like an uneven jack fruit
seems to be rough but softer is the inner part
He should be honest like a straight tree
but he should also know to bend free
In order to elude the selfish world 
and protect his family like a guard
Does not need to be perfect always
but he should be true anyway
In short he should be like my dad
I am indeed a blessed child, so glad
