A Father, His Daughter, and His Son.

A Father, His Daughter, and His Son.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, good wine in the other, totally worn out and screaming: 'Wooo Hoooo, what a ride! I wanna go round again!' 

Consequently, we need to teach our daughters the difference between a man who flatters her and a man who invests in her- for life; a man who views her as his property and a man who views her properly. 

We must teach her the difference between a man who lusts after her and a man who loves her; a man who believes he is a gift from “The Mother” to all women and a man who know that woman is Mother’s gift to man. AND THEN: we must teach ourselves; and our sons; to be that man.

No father ever wants to see,

his children go a muck;

so every day-in every way,

he does his level best;

to help them find a way,

to stand up to life's test.

He knows he cannot always be there,

and at times they will have to fail;

or learn; on their own; what’s best

no matter how it hurts to know

he must never think her lest;

for she must also grow.

Protector of a youthful heart;

consoler for all youth’s pains;

your first true love; your hero too

the very life within your veins;

never did he go away,

for all that life retains;

He’s your Daddy-don’t you know?

So, my child, love your father now;

give back some of what he has given you.

Because it’s flow is unconditional;

and asks for no reward;

now days such love is rare

and only he could teach you how.
