Many men will agree that being a father is the most rewarding relationship that they have. Children begin by loving their fathers unconditionally. It is a clean slate. There is nothing the father has to do to earn his child's love. The difficult part is not losing it. As the child goes out into the world, he will see all kinds of men whom he will look to as models as well. It is crucial that his father stay active in his life and help him make intelligent decisions. A boy without a father will look elsewhere to fill his father's shoes.

We were there for you when you took your first steps

He watches his daddy turn and head up on the bus.
He watches him go and doesn't even fuss.
I loved this poem. It's beautiful and very inspiring.
I remember my dad waking me up at 4 o'clock.
Barely getting up with my eyes half shut,
Getting ready and packing up dad's truck,
Hoping to catch some fish down at the dock....
I love this poem. The same four words I fear of saying as well. I've feared saying it ever since I was taken out of his care. When I read it I started crying so much :(

those were our best times together.

I love this poem. Thank you for writing it. I am a father of 4 beautiful children. They are living with their mother about 3 hours away. I haven't seen them since May of 2015. I used to talk...
It seems like only yesterday
With a teardrop in my eye
That you were born into this world
With a whimper and a cry...
To my baby girl, Larissa Coleman. No matter where you are, remember to hold your heart 'cause mom is with you.
Daddy,
You were one of the first I laid eyes on when I came into this world
I didn't know you at first but you were my daddy and later to become my hero
You were one of the first I loved...
I've seen a glimpse of a little girl, the one who plays inside.
She longs so much to just be held,
yet, she tries so hard to hide.
