ROLE OF A FATHER

The role of a father is hard to define; It can’t be summed up in one simple line. He’s someone you’ve looked up to all of your life; and he’s always there when you need advice. He’s a mentor, a teacher, an instiller of goals; In the play of life, a father has many roles. He’s a provider, disciplinary, a “Jack” of all trades; and he’s always quite proud of the family he’s made. He is someone that shares your thoughts, your ideas and dreams; and you know that he’d help you achieve them at any means. As a child he was king of your castle, ruler of your land; and sometimes he ruled with an iron hand. But he always had time to help, no project too big or too small; and he was always around to pick you up, whenever you happened to “fall” All of those memories, plus the ones in the making; are always in your heart for the taking. For a father is not just someone wise with advise to lend; he is also a close and loving friend.
