Ode To Fathers-A Father's Day Poem

     This Sunday is Father's Day, one of the most important holidays of the year. To celebrate one of the greatest assets in all of humanity, the father, I have composed the following poem. Feel free to recite it to your father, husband, or a random father you know to let him know what he means to you.

The Father, what can I say of thee?
You are mighty and strong, a pillar for the family to lean on.
You are wise, a cistern of knowledge from which we can drink.
Villains rise up against the family, but the father protects even the most feeble of the children.
The power of the might of the father of the family is felt to the ends of the Earth.
Yes, you father of children are wise beyond years and strong beyond regular ability.
The expecting father has many sleep-filled nights, but he too will soon slumber no more.
The father to be will rise up in power and hold the scepter alongside his fellow brethren.
The father of many children is worthy of double honor.
He raises and provides for his multiple offspring, and they are without want.
He is awesome in power, the father of many, many young children.
The father of nineteen is considered a fool in the market.
He appears ridiculous in the eyes of all the people.
The man that is the father of more than three but less than five is the crown jewel of the people.
He captivates the nations with his ability, yes his ability to harness the power of his four children.
The people marvel at his steadfast steadfastness.
The women he knows are compelled to shower him with gifts of the finest delicacies.
And the menfolk give him honor in the form of monetary gifts.
The father of more than three but less than five offspring is humble in spite of his greatness.
He esteems himself not, but brings himself low for the sake of his family.
However, when it comes to doing great acts he towers over the people, and they are in awe.
Yes, fathers of all accounts are worthy of praise.
But the father of four stands head and shoulders above them all.

     For those of you wondering it is appropriate to complement this poem with a gift (or many gifts) to the special father in your life. Be sure to lavish attention on him as well. You might also want to consider extending this Fathe'r\s Day through the rest of the week or even month. Happy Father's Day!
