A  DAD
A Dad is a person who talks
Less about love than he shows it.
His Love is constant and always there,
And, yes, his family knows it.
Like a sturdy Oak he stands tall--
For him its a way of life,
Sheltering his family from storms
And adverse winds of strife.
A Dad is a person you go to
With problems anyplace.
His love for you is always there
Reflected in his face.
Its his judgment and his foresight,
That always safely steers
With his hand upon the throttle
His home-ship through the years.
A dad can turn a calamity
Into a welcome smile,
By looking on life's bright side,
But, yet steady all the while.
A dad is the reason his kids
Put him above the rest,
And will ever proudly carry
The name that he has blessed.
