Father's Day Poem

What Is A Dad?

A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who
holds you when you cry,
scolds you when you break the rules,
shines with pride when you succeed,
and has faith in you even when you fail...

One father is more than a hundred Schoolemasters. ~George Herbert,Outlandish Proverbs, 1640

"A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society."
