Fathers

I have been with fathers They are ordinary human beings With extraordinary hands To hold life by the horns And build a better home For the ones they love Fathers are extraordinary creatures They have so much love in their hearts Yet most of the time they refuse to show it Instead of pouring their love into the palm of life They are pouring themselves into the heart of life Through hard work and resilience They have found a working formula That enables them to feed their families And build a fortress around their loved ones Fathers are sometimes absent Far away from their loved ones Whether dead or alive Creating a deep well of pain and suffering Especially to the young ones It's this abnormality That dent the seat of fatherhood Fathers are a critical part of the family structure Protruding above the perimeter of ordinary life Fathers are the shield and the storm Able to hold a home together Or to destroy its foundation Fathers are a natural force for good Through life's many challenges Most fathers remain strong Unwavering in their character Firm in their actions And totally committed to their families ©
