For Fathers
A Poem for Their Day
A father can be good or not so great
he can be always prompt or usually late
he can be always prompt or usually late
He can be forgetful or never forget
a concert a ballgame or your name
Fathers in all sizes and shapes
they do their best they sometimes fail
At your side is where they want to be
scrapped knees and homework the birth of your son
Advice that doesn't always work
a handshake and a hug that always does
A father a dad a mentor and more
one day of the year doesn't do it at all
