Love Poem: Father

Father

I’m not a man of my father’s class, stature, personified grace
I am but one, so wishing that, I one day find my place

My father fought in World War Two, with honor, pride and heart
I can’t express the thanks or love for all he did impart

He held within a silent strength, a voice so stern, yet gentle
I can’t truly explain this man without getting sentimental

I hope one day to be half the man that my father lived to be
And carry on his name with pride through all eternity
