I am a Father

As a father, I must carry on,
With the weight of responsibility, I am drawn.
Happiness or sadness, I cannot dwell,
For the sake of my family, I must quell.

Even if I fall, I cannot despair,
The lives of many depend on my care.
I am the roof of the household, the guide,
To raise morale, and instill a sense of pride.

Like the resolute sun, I must burn bright,
Lighting the way through even the darkest of nights.
The moon will prove my presence, a guiding light,
For my children, I must always be in sight.

Laughter may escape me, but I must try,
To smile and show my family I\'ll never die.
For I am a father, a husband, a son,
Creating a generation, the future has begun.

So I\'ll push on, no matter the wrath,
And never count the sighs on my path.
For I am a father, and that means more,
Than any burden, hardship, or score.

I\'ll keep shining, with every electron of light,
Guiding my family, through the darkest of nights.
For I am a father, and my legacy,
Will live on through the next generation\'s legacy.
