Dad
My Father
Look out around you,
The universe is a vast place.
With so many directions to go,
It is easy to lose your way.
Blessed was I,
For I had a dad.
A strong man who I looked up to.
Through his example as a person and a father;
I saw what a person should be.
His wisdom, intelligence, strength, and love, guided the way.
In this world of turmoil,
In this whirlwind of uncertainty,
I am certain of one thing.
If I find my way to be a fraction of the man my father is,
I’ll be far ahead of most men.
And if I stray from my course,
I know like a beacon in the night,
His light will guide me Home.
