A Birthday Poem to Dad

As a mom, I wanted to post this poem he wrote his dad on his birthday.  It was the best birthday present he could send his dad.  It definitely brought tears to his eyes.

When I´m a dad, I´ll be like you

I´ve many reasons, but here´s a few

You taught me what matters in life

You taught me how to treat my wife

Even times when we were really poor

Your children´s needs you wouldn´t ignore

At school sometimes I´d feel neglected

But home I always felt protected

I really loved the way you raised me

When I did good, you surely praised me

You jump at chances at the door

Even now at age forty-four

You taught me how a man should dream

The world was mine as it would seem

Your grip is on the Iron Rod

You really are a Man of God

I think he got the talent of writing poems from his dad.  They are both good men!!
