What Is Dad

Dad is a man of God.
Dad is a protector.  
Dad is a provider.
This is the way some people see dad.  But looking back on my life as dad I see that 
dad is much more. 
 
Dad is a booster seat and a comfortable chair.  
Dad is a warm blanket that holds you tight and makes you feel safe.  
Dad is a repair man who knows just the right way to put your toys together and fix 
them when they break.  
Dad is a comedian who can always make you laugh and instantly turns into a tickle 
monster just when you need one.  
Dad is a combination madd scientist and cook, whose experiments don’t always turn 
out right, but are always fun .  
Dad is an animal doctor who works miracles with a prayer and a bottle of 
peroxide.  
Dad is a source of life’s wisdom except when it comes to algebra.  
Dad is a captivated audience when you put on your big shows and he’s always your 
biggest fan.  
Dad is a quiet man when he’s thinking really hard.  
Dad is a loud man when he is sleeping real hard.
Dad is a friend who loves us and a teacher who guides us. 
But most of all… 
Dad is human and he makes mistakes and he understands that we make mistakes 
to.

Joe Flach December 27, 2010 at 1:00 PM Terrific write Bob! Many of my poems are about being "Dad". This one hits the nail right on the head. Maybe it's by design, maybe it's just ironic, but the last word in your poem, the one about making mistakes, too, is mispelled...I found it apt and humorous. Great job, my friend. Joe
