FATHER'S DAY #2

If you're lucky, things can look up,
like the love you hope
your kids have for you,
I was touched on father's day,
I don't know if other countries
celebrate the day,

As a Father I cherish it,
It means to me, that I did
my best, even the mess
of having my troubles trying
to provide,

I never ran, I didn't hide
from my responsibility,
sometimes an impossibility,
but I strived out of love,

above all else,
without wealth,
I found the ability,
some stability,
with calloused hands
and worn leather gloves,

even when I was intimidated,
even humiliated, I held
my head high, because
my children relied on me,

a struggle I fought for everyday,
today I am appreciated,
and their love for me,
happily amplified in their
special way.
