I Am Father. Hear Me Roar!
I can go farther than the bar-tailed godwit.
I have more capacity for abstract thought than the IBM Roadrunner.
In stature I’ve been compared to a redwood.
And yet, a single tear eyed look from one of my blue-eye girls can melt me faster than a
snow flake on your tongue.
A pained tone in their voices arrest my attention more than a bunny under a spotlight
When I ‘m not with them for long periods I hunger for their company and thirst for their
imaginations
Together we fly to the stars, jump over mountains and have lots of tea parties.
With them I am Strong.
