Love Poem: A Father Is

A Father Is

A true character
Who replenishes all of our needs 
That holds us best and picks you up
Even at your weakest moments
So that we do not go hungry 
Or sleep unclothed 
He who gives us the ability to find strength
When setbacks are apart of life 
I was taught to value myself 
And the solid lessons in limitations that this journey would bring 
He believes the depth in his being
This creation would never be broken
Because an emphasis on fathering would never be absent
I am a creation in the making 
To measure up to something 
Which he molded me 
Until I know all he knows 
He is exactly what he is needed to be
A father, who will die to protect
A man with nothing to lose
One with no words
That speaks so much volume
And a smile in trouble
Who gathers strength from distress
To place his family as the most important thing in his life
He is  cautious with the actions and decisions 
He makes so he won't have to be responsible for their pain
He is all
