The Good Father.



A father, oh so strong and true,
His love for his children, pure and through,
He guides them with a gentle hand,
And leads them through life's sandy land.

His heart is filled with joy and light,
As he watches them grow and take flight,
Their laughter and smiles, a treasure to behold,
His love for them, a story to be told.

He teaches them the ways of the world,
And helps them to find their own pearl,
He wipes away their tears and fears,
And dries their tears with loving cheers.

He is a rock, a shelter in the storm,
A guiding light, a beacon to form,
He is their hero, their shining star,
Their father, their protector, their guide from afar.

His love for them knows no bounds,
It's limitless, like the sky's profound,
He would give his life for them,
His love for them, a sacred gem.

So let us cherish this love so true,
This love that a father has for his crew,
For they are the ones who shape our lives,
And fill our hearts with joy and light.
