Poems and other things
        What is a Father
A Father is someone who works hard to teach his children life lessons,
  A Father is a real man,
  He cares about what happens to his children,
  He is a true man.
A Father is always there for his children,
  A Father does anything he  can for his children,
  A Father listens to what is being said,
  A Father is a real man.
  My Father does these things and many more,
   I can talk to him about anything,
  He's smart and he raises me so that I may one day turn out like him.
  My dad is a bright man.
  He teaches me lessons that I  may one day need in my life,
   He started out late in life as a single father,
   But he does a great job of it,
   He is a man.
He works hard to raise me,
   Though it took me a while to realize that raising me is hard,
   I love him to death and I am thankful  he is my father,
   I got lucky with one thing in my life I got the best dad.

            What is hope
What is hope?
    Is it the dream I hold inside?
    What is hope?
     Is it the things I hope to oneday accomplish.
     What is hope?
      Maybe it's the dreams I see crushed.
      What is hope?
      Hope is what I am going to oneday over pass and achieve when no one expects it.
