A Father Means

[Lorenzo]

by Anonymous


A Father means so many things
A understanding heart,
A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start
A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way
With encouragement and forgiveness
No matter what comes your way
A special generosity and always affection, too
A Father means so many things
When he's a man like you

[Lorenzo]

A father to me;

is constant support,
like a mountain he is unshakable
like a tree he provides shade for his family
like a Sheppard he protects his offspring
like a mustard seed, his faith is unquestionable

Like a teacher, he disciplines and corrects what is wrong
Like an engineer he designs our rooms, and guides us to stable bridges
Like a nurse he nurtures us until we can walk on two feet

Approachable when needed, but lighthouse of respect, and filial piety;
He reminds me and my siblings of where we come from,
