Fullest Father Figure

nair36

To a dad that raised and loved me with a heart immense

You where there for me always when things got intense

To a father which love seems to be his sixth sense

You were always at my aid, attention and defense

Never laid a hand on me, not once, never

I’ll appreciate all that you do for me forever

Pulled through tough times in which you did endeavor

You rubbed off on me now I’m creative and clever

I think I did get my creativeness from you

If you’d listen to what you say you’d know it too

I believe you are a father with a respectable view

You’re also an element as to how I grew

Sure I had some rough times here and there

But I’m happy now and I am fully aware

You worked to provide and had money to share

You can’t find that in all fathers, count yourself rare

The bond that I share with my mom is great

But the bond between you and I is equally straight

You taught me how to fish, string hooks and bait

And it all came through because fish we ate

You raised me well make no mistake

You’re a father most kids dream of but I’m awake

Taking me to work with you was fun and a piece of cake

And to think we still have more new memories to make

I am grateful for everything that I have ever had

Parents touch with a touch of understanding when I am mad

Knows how to handle that and even when I am sad

He is all that I could wish for I am proud to call you dad

    Wow! This is EXCELLENT! I so love this tribute to your father! Mine too! If only I could put him so elegantly as you have done yours....he loves us so much! I am not good enough ever for either Daddy or Mommy! I love this poem and the one to your mother....these are the best poems of yours, in my opinion. Thank you very much for writing and posting them.

      De nada. Y gracias. Yup my father is a great man. I put them in letters and will put them under the tree on christmas eve so they don't see them until christmas morning. So now it can be my turn to surprise them 🙂

        Sweet.....I love that idea! Espanol...how often do you use it? I took it in high school, but unfortunately never succeeded at learning more than enough words to get me in trouble, but at least for all the Spanish words I like to occasionally season my talk with, I do know to say, No Hablo Espanol!...Hablo Ingles!
