A FATHER'S
LOVE
Advice given freely without pressure or commands;
Unconditional love without expectations or demands.
Only asking of us to be the best that we can...
Integrity and honesty never to aband.
Standing beside us throughout the years;
Comforting our hearts; Drying our tears.
Outstretched arms for us to embrace
Filling our hearts with love and grace.
