A Dad

sonnet

 

 

 

 A Dad.

 

Any fool can be a father.

 It takes a man to be a Dad.

Though some fellows would much rather

 play the field as Jack the Lad.

Take their pleasure where they can

 avoid responsibility

The lack the guts to be a man

despite their masculinity.

Real Dads are made of sterner stuff.

Take their duties seriously

stay steadfast when the goings tough

and always try their best to be.

The kind of Dad who’s firm but fair.

But best of all He’s always there.

Well written and so true; it takes a man to be a Dad, a man who can take their duties seriously, and is firm and fair. You describe so well what a Dad should be, and what every man who is a father should strive for.

Well done. Being a dad is not an easy task, bless all of those who work tirelessly and
unshelfishly at it.

Your right. It does take a real man to be a dad!
