An Ode to Dads

July 3, 2018 by Michael Sliney

Early to rise and often late to bed,
Pounding it out and getting it all done.
A quiet force of love…with little said,
Wife and kids come first; not much time for fun. 

He doesn’t just “provide”; his heart stays home.
He knows a good “dad” is a better “spouse,”
And he knows the kids, from God, are on loan. 
This matters more than wealth, fame or the house!

He carries the weight of all on his back,
Your tears and your fears are deep in his soul.
He sacrifices, so you never lack. 
Bringing Christ in the hearth; this is his goal!

So much selflessness…so much wear and tear.
We love you Dad, we notice and we care!
