Hold your children tightly, but not so tightly they cannot breathe, Bring them up uprightly,your spirit not to grieve.....
Correct them with gentle loving patience, provoke them not to wrath. loosen that guiding hand from their shoulders, once they've found the path!
Regale them with your stories, include them in your fun,for these are gifts they will recall, when all is said and done.
Make it easy for them to honor you, and show such honor to your wife, for without her, you will recall, you would not be "Father", the whole of your life...
Many men can help create a life, many can do that job, but it takes a certain courage, to stay the course, and raise that lass or lad, a certain strength of charecter, for them to call you DAD.
So if you've done your duty well, and earned the title all fullwell, you can see, in your child's eyes, that twinkle, that sparkle, of love and fondness true,
When they're looking up to someone special.
They're looking up, to you....DAD!
AND THEN, YOU'LL BE A MAN, MY SON.
OUI?
