Joanna Daniel Poet Acrostic

My Hero

H ow does he balance life and what the Bible teaches? 
E vidently by practising all that he preaches.

I mpacting lives by his words and deeds, 
S erving God first, above his own needs. 

M odel he is, for other men to follow, 
Y eah, a true Jack of all trades, you know. 

H umble and loving, though a strict stickler to rules,
E xperienced, wise and quite an expert with tools, 
R eal fun to be with, time with him makes me glad,
O f course, he's my hero and none other than my dad.
