The Legendary Father
Fables, stories, tales and myths,
And even the oldest legends,
Tell of a strong faithful man,
Who held the whole world in his hands.
Able, funny, cool and kind,
A man unlike any other,
His will moves the mountains high,
And his smile brings the sun to shine.
Truthful, trusting, brave and bold,
A man to rise above all else,
His love beats that of others,
His strength of mind saves those in doubt.
Honest, sincere, strong and warm,
He is a cut above the rest,
His thoughts lead the nations first,
His actions make the world seem best.
Eager, happy, nice and true,
He will be a wall to all things bad,
His hope is a ray of light,
His judgment has made things alright.
Rare to find is such a man,
I simply call him my dad.
