Best Fatherly Poems

McGee settled down one cool autumn night
Reached for a bag, a match and his pipe
Leaned back in his chair, thought life had been good
Though times had been tough, he did what he should 
Young Shawn always came to his dad for advice
So McGee always gave...

From father to father, here's some friendly advice
Offer love and support, be wise and concise
Responses are remembered and magnified in young eyes
Think before you speak is most highly advised
Yesterday is gone, and be willing to compromise

You all,her too
She thought i lost my diction
She made me mild,and i turned a new leaf
A new one;not my cheek
But to Wilde;
So I guess its true what he says,
"a woman's face its a work of fiction"
To my,to my higherbeing i surrender my past
It has been...

I look back and see...
Remember times spent crying on 
my knee
Your anger is my biggest fear,
Your words can bring me a tear.

As year started rushing by,
For you I'm no good though I try
You treated me just as bad,
And those times were so sad:-(

I grow up...

Threatened blue world.
Rich earth's in His hands,
But, why such disrespect?...

Do you sense my hand in your watery world
In that aqueous land? Baby boy, baby girl?
When I feel you move neath her skin on my palm,
is it that you are soothed by my fatherly charm?

How about my rough voice when I sing lullabies?
In your universe...

Rears up children with loving gesture.

If in a bit of fatherly pride I may indulge here
  My 22-year-old son's brought my old age new cheer

Today he just accepted his first full-time position
  Which my wife and I wish him much success in 

By the way, our son --...

Son, save this picture as I smile at thee
Hold on to this memory as you grow
Nothing is more important than you to me
Family time I want you to know

Hold on to this memory as you grow
The sights, the sound, the conversation
Family time I want you...

Rejoice thee
To the holy spirit
As I have come out of the shadows
And there are five of those
Feel them

The clarity of confusion
Leads to be victories
Which is meant to be
Leads to be fruitful
Which is suppose to be

Rejoice thee
To the holy ground
As you were born to be one
And...

 Have you ever loved someone?
Beyond their soul;
Have you ever tried to love like God?
Oh’ Agape Hallelujah

As well as the human reciprocal love for God.
 In Scripture, the transcendent agape love is the highest form of love and is contrasted 
Agape, agape, the fatherly love...

In a cozy home, as nightfall draws near,
A father's love is strong and sincere.
A son's journey, a father's pride,
In this evening's glow, they stand side by side.

At the kitchen table, their space well-worn,
With tools and laughter, they're reborn.
The young boy's eyes, full of wonder and...

Courage is action
When terror strangles your heart
You act anyways

Violence subdued, men
Become peaceful, not harmless
Peace is self control. 

Love exists only
When acted upon in pain
Love's not without grief.

In laughter's echo, memories glow
We played those suckers, putting on a show
With every scheme and well-worn grin
Together, son, we always win
