Father’s Lead
By D.E. Lee © 1997
A Father is a man of strength,
who keeps a family safe,
He leads the children of his house,
the way, he tries to pave,
To show to them the course to go,
to guide them as he can,
To be examples of the right,
and honorable ways of man,
He grinds, exerts and works so hard,
to win his daily bread,
And then comes home to show his love,
to the one to whom he wed,
And when the things in life are hard,
not everything goes right,
He provides a haven for his kids,
and safety in the night,
He plays, confides and even scolds,
example is his tool,
For as the children become adult,
each one becomes his jewel.
