A FATHER

Hello everyone. I hope you have been enjoying my poems as you read them. It has taken me a lot of time to create them over the years. I have kept these poems around for a long time now, in hopes that I can one day publish a book of poetry for the world to see. Please, read them and tell me what you think. Thanks!

A FATHER

A father, is a man who loves his child beyond measure.
To watch them grow, to see them smile and to meet their needs brings him pleasure.
A father is a man who has automatic impulses to protect, to provide, and to participate.
When it comes to his child, he's there all the while, they call, he hauls and won't hesitate.
A father spends restless nights and endless days working his hands and his bones.
He uses his skill to work and build, for his child a stabilized home.
A father is a man who acts as a shield, he comforts his child when in need.
His statue is known, to stand firm and stand strong, against anyone or anything that bothers his seed.
A father leaves his home to labor in the field, where he's learned to conquer many things.
But while he's away, there isn't a day, that goes by without thinking of his offspring.
A father is a man who teaches his son to lead, to stand strong and to embrace.
But if he gets out of line, a father waste no time with putting his son in his place.
A father is a man who looks after his daughter and he treats her like a delicate flower.
He shields her, comforts her and protects her with his power.
A father is special in many ways you see and is needed to lead , to protect and to provide.
He always gives love, from abroad and with hugs, he'll always be there at your side.
