To an Underrated Father

O father, unappreciated, For all the work you've done and made. Though you go out each day, to earn, Your family fails to see your worth. You toil to feed the family's needs, But little thanks is what you receive. Your hard work's taken for granted, And often your efforts are slanted. Though you are first to face a threat, Your praise is last, your lot is set. But know your value's not erased, For heaven sees your sacrifice. So take heart, and carry on, For the family you love, you've won.
