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.
