Brian Densham Poet I do not know?

My Father

My father made me            Not be rude
                                        Bless my food
                                        Know what’s good
		
My father made me           Sit up straight
                                       Tow my weight
                                       Be a teammate
		
My father made me           Help my mother
                                       Think of others
                                       Love my brothers
		
My father made me           Think like a man
                                       Do all I can
                                       Be what I am
		
                          My father
                          Made me

Joseph P. DiMino May 27, 2018 at 11:03 AM Hi Brain; sounds to me you are being true to both fathers. No greater compliment can I pay you, and this very extraordinary write. Outstanding! Thank you for sharing. Brian Densham July 8, 2018 at 12:06 PM Well Brain may be a little too flattering (everybody misspells Brian). Such compliment is graciously acknowledged!

Elaine George May 27, 2018 at 6:03 AM Your father taught you very valuable life lessons. The world could certainly use more wonderful fathers like yours. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem.
