"What Is A Father?"



A father is a back-up for the mother.
He's strong, he's stern, he's strict.
He's caring, loving and sharing.
He's responsible for his actions and your reactions.

He's 1/2 of the bread winner and he's 1/2 of you, because
Without father there will be "No" you.

A father loves hard and a father's love is forever, he's
tall, handsome and he's my hero in shining armor.
He's mine and mine alone. Even though he's my hero I'll
Be his star, even though I'll make him proud I'll make him my
star also.
