Father and Child Poem

A father with unconditional love

Dad

© Brittney L. Smith

The day will come when its time to go,
But first there are a few things I would like you to know.
You’re the strongest man I ever knew, and the one I've always looked up to.
You worked your fingers to the bone, to make sure we always had a good home.
You take turns visiting us all winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Even on days you could barely walk, there was nothing that would keep you from your kids when we needed to talk.
It's been a comfort to know that you’re here, whether it's to lend a hand or to bend an ear.
You let us know you’re as proud as can be, you are proud of the whole family.
You’re not just a father but also a friend, who we know we can count on until the end.
I am sure God is watching from up above, and can see the father with the unconditional LOVE.
