I AM DAD
FATHER, PROVIDER, PROTECTOR, TEACHER, CHEF.

STORYTELLER, MONSTER KILLER, PLANNER ORGANISER,
DECORATOR, CRAFTER, MULTI-TASKING KING, SUPERMAN, AND FRIEND,
AND YES, THOUGH YOUR MOTHER CARRIED YOU;
‘TWAS I WHO GAVE YOU LIFE.
Most, anyone can have a child;
“a parent”, call themselves.
The real parent is the one put that child
above their own selfish needs or wants.
When a father makes the decision to create a child,
he’s also making the decision to take responsibility for that child.
A father never abandons his obligation as a parent,
because he’s tired, has “other plans”.
The father’s love begins, long before the child is born,
and lasts until the end of time,
through difficulties and differences;
through difficulties and differences;
many scars and wounds.
Days of sorrow, winding, wearing, weeping sharing,
ever changing.
Until at the end what remains; is that solid core;
that began as His Love before the child was born ©. Al (Alex, Alexander) D Girvan.
