My Father

My Father
When you have a father
You will go far
Father is like a pillar
Father is the star of the family
Father is like a lion that protect it's territory
Where there is no father, the house will be in disarray
Father is a provider
Father is like an iroko tree that can not be uprooted
Father gives instructions Father disciplines children
He is the head of the family
He is the symbol of the family
A lazy father is a disrespectful father
A hardworking father is a cherished father
Like hen, father is caring
Like dove, father is gentle
A soldier like father scares away children
No father,no society.

You said it perfectly. My father is my best friend and for this I will be eternally grateful. I especially like how you said "Father is like a lion that protects its territory." Amen. Those are shoes that I strive to fill. I enjoyed this and hope to see more from you.
