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

Well Brain may be a little too flattering (everybody misspells Brian). Such compliment is graciously acknowledged!

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. Sincerely, Elaine
