A Better Father

What is hard today,

Tomorrow will be missed.

What is easy today,

Easily will be forgotten.

The Joy of a Father,

Is his Family lacking for nothing?

The Joy of a Dad,

Is the depth of conversations.

Once I was a son and understood little.

Now as a Dad, I understand my Dad.

To love my children,

Is to love their Mom.

A tree grows plenty when is supported.

A tree grows to the fullest conquering hardship.

A good Father tells his children about life,

A great Father exemplifies the art of living.

The journey is different for each one of us,

Innate skills and character are destination-dependent.

God already prepared the backpack ahead of the journey.

My job is to assist my kids in discovering their content.

The greatest gift I can give to my boys,

Is to let them become the man they are meant to be.

The greatest gift I can give to my boys,

Is my scarce time and undivided presence.

Father, I became a Father and my world changed,

Will I become a good one? A great one? Time will tell.

It is my hope I can become a better Father every day.

My only wish, they get the best Dad they could ever have just as I did.
