Birthday Poem

I wrote this poem for my father and read it to him at his birthday dinner in front of everyone, he was very proud as I'm of him.

Pillar Of A Man

© Mike Brown
Work hard yet be humble,
share all that you have
Maybe the most important of many lessons,
that I have learned from my dad.

Protect and honor your family,
no matter what the cost
A battle for your family
is a battle that cant be lost.

Take a stand for things that matter,
and always keep your head held up high.
Embrace those things close to your heart,
and yes sometimes men do cry.

These lessons in life can not be taught,
they must be observed.
Happy birthday dad you have taught me a lot,
and I love you for what I have learned.
