DADDY

A source of strength, invincible
as far as I can see.
Knows nothing of his strengths
that are obvious to me.

inventive , ingenious,witty,,
unaffected by success.
Inclined to live conservatively
and make the most of less.

Stubborn and one-sided
with a narrow point of view,
Yet open and unselfish
when it comes to a chosen few.

I’m proud of him and his fortitude,
he takes long walks and reads.
He travels to foreign countries,

sends Morse Code across the seas.
Extraordinary and unique among most men.
One of a kind, a very rare breed.
I’m glad I’m his next of kin.
