A Poem for my Father

(by Joanna Fuchs)

HERO DAD

My Dad was my hero

For my very youngest years;

Dad kept me save and happy,

And he chased away my fears.

I watched in awe and wonder

At each manyly thing he did;

Oh, I looked up to my daddy,

When I was a little kid.

My dad was still my hero,

As the years passed, one by one.

He taught important lessons,

And he took some time for fun.

He was my firm foundation;

On my dad I did depend;

He was always there for me,

My dad, my guide, my friend.

My father is my hero,

Now that I am fully grown.

I love him and respect him,

The best man I've ever known.

I know that when I marry

That my husband had to be

A great man, just like my father,

Dad, my hero you'll always be.

Love you dad... Kimberly

I gave this poem to my Dad for Father's Day 2008
