‘happy Father's Day! ' Dear Dad

Each dad adorns a special place In life on earth so prime; But some do well, others cannot, Their ear-marked role mundane; But dad is parent important, Who matches mom somewhat; They balance life and family, And toil for good of all. The sacrifices fathers do Remains unknown to most; Yet, dads are lesser praised than moms; That is the way of the world! A dad protects and guides children, And does the harder chores; But he is somewhat forgotten, And not lucky like mom. A father's love is not overt, His strictness rules the roost; But dads are kind and friendly too - Something they never boast! A dad's duties make him different, Yet, he cares akin mom; His heart has sorrow aplenty, He dare not tell the world. Dad is the sun, and mom, the moon, Yet, both have roles to play; They are the light in life's darkness, Emitting in own way. A dad is monument of bliss, With attributes all great; Nevertheless, he is simple, Remaining much humble. The family's head is father dear, Whose role mom can't usurp; God made Adam for a purpose, And Eve as his life-mate! A father is a gift from God, Who bears a lot of stress; A dad's wisdom one can't discern, His face reflects not heart! God made the awesome creature, dad, And Eve as companion; But both are one in flesh and blood, And pro-create the race. The father's voice is strong and loud, And not always so kind; He is the hero of the day, No matter what world says. Though children know that daddy's love Is not overt like mom's, They miss this love when once he's gone - A void no one can fill. Dad lives his life to help us live, By sweat from his forehead; Remember dad was God-chosen To be the family's head! Copyright by Dr John Celes 14-06-'14
