To all fathers everywhere, coming from the perspective of a daughter, it is a worthy calling, and as for me, I am grateful for my apa, he was one of my heroes. This poem reminds me of the hard-working provider that he was.

Silent, Strong Dad

He never looks for praises.

He's never one to boast.

He just goes on quietly working

For those he loves the most.

His dreams are seldom spoken.

His wants are very few,

And most of the time his worries

Will go unspoken, too.

He's there...a firm foundation

Through all our storms of life,

A sturdy hand to hold onto

In times of stress and strife.

A true friend we can turn to

When times are good or bad.

One of our greatest blessings,

The man that we call Dad.
