The poem 'Fatherhood' explores fatherhood and glory of being a father. A father is the guiding light of a child and deserves love in return. He adores his children as much as a mother. However, working for long hours to make both ends meet, he does not get time to be with them. Being a man, he also finds it difficult to express his feelings for his children. Nevertheless, this does not mean that he does not care for his children. It is this essence that the poet has tried to capture in the lines mentioned below. Go through these lines and if you find them suitable, use them for wishing your dad a 'Happy Father's Day'.
Fatherhood
Though new at fatherhood, you're surely not
A novice at the art of giving love,
With quiet tact you find the perfect spot
Among the needs of those whose hearts you move.
I never feel you slight me, even though
At times your time for me of need is slight.
Though working long and hard, you seem to know
Just how to make our son feel loved each night
These gifts you give I know cannot come easy,
Although they seem to flow so easily
You have a lovely air that's light and breezy,
That says: I get from you more than you see.
And so I am in awe of what you do;
You love so well that I love you well, too.
