The Job of a Father
The job of a father
The reason we get married is to have children
With the woman that we fell in love with
To make a life with her and be a good husband
And try to be the best father, that any child could ask for
A good man loves his wife and children
And places then as the most important thing in his life
And nothing can bring him more peace and content in life
Then being a good husband and role model father for his children
The job of a father is to be a leader and a champion
A beacon of hope and stability and mannerism
A mountain that stands tall at all time
A ray of light that will forever shine on his children
Being a good father is a very tough and unselfish job
And not many fathers live up to that standards
And some will ignore to acknowledge their offsprings
And doesn’t represent the pure majesty that comes with being a good father
One of the most important things a father can do
Is to love and respect the mother of his children
To set a perfect example for his children to morph into
And that’s the wisdom that they will take with them
Children look up to their fathers and mothers
And the love that unites them
And that’s the kind of love they will carry in their hearts
As they become parents and have children of their own someday
Every good father wishes the best for his children
And to give them the best life that he could
But sometimes a good father will stumble and fall
And carry the weight of the world on his shoulders
My father was the strongest man I ever know
And there were times that he carried the world on his shoulders
But with a smile on his handsome face
He would just keep on going and never let it showed
He was a humble man of dignity that everyone looked up to
He was considered a father to everyone in the village who knew him
My father was called home to heaven by God
Too early and way before his time, and I know that my father’s example is still being followed by everyone still to this day
Today I am a father and I love my son
And I will do everything in the world to make him happy
But sometimes being the best father in the world
With all the love in the world is not enough
But every day I have to keep trying
And trying, over and over again
Until the smile that was missing
Comes back where it belongs again
The job of a father is a never-ending job
And every good father knows that it's true
And to my father and all the fathers in the world
Who are living and who have died
Happy fathers day to you
