"WHAT IS A FATHER"
A father is wisdom, love and understanding;
He is the firm voice, the helping hand in time of trouble.
He is the Family's trust and hope, its guard and guide, the strength of its ideals.
A father is encouragement and honor, and justice tempered with humor.
He is a speaker, or a listener, according to your needs.
He is always there when you need him, because he's the finest of fathers, because he is you.
