Dad


Selflessness and strength 

Honor, courage, heart

We think of storybook heroes and those we look up to

Admiration at its finest 

To be reprimanded yet adored

To be scolded yet encouraged

The purpose of a parent

Not to look down upon

But eventually to take pride in your work 

The heart of a parent

Full, protective, unguarded

To shield from hurt and heartbreak, fears and fury

Unconditional, fearless
