A Father's Image

"Father" is a title that must be earned over a lifetime of loving and nurturing his children. Doug Eidt, the warm and loving father of a very dear friend has earned that title with honours. I don't think I've ever met a man more proud of his five sons, and from what I've seen, his fine sons are images of him. This one's for you Doug....get well soon....

(For Doug Eidt – A Great Father)
 
You led your sons from boys to men
Albeit firmly now and then!
Five little boys who tested your will
In them great patience you did instil!
You nurtured your sons in every way
Knowing they’d do the same one day!
For sons in a father’s image grow
When unconditional love they know!
You readied them with useful tools,
Things they’d never learn in school!
Like how to live in harmony
With every rock and flower and tree!
You guided them with a watchful eye
And they blossomed as the years slipped by!
Then one by one they left the nest
Putting all they learned from you to the test!
The man you are is easy to see
In the men your sons turned out to be!
You’ve earned that look of pride on your face
For you’ve made the world a better place!

What an incredible tribute. You are truly a beautiful poet. We as fathers should instill these same values in our sons. May God bless you every day of your life.

As a father I have learned that the process of parenthood is never over, even when are children become parents of their own we still need to be their with love and support whenever they need us...and to me that is what a Father should do.

A fine tribute to a good father. It reminds me of a friend I had who couldn't conceive until he had an affair and then his wife produced three wonderful sons. He was like a father to me and he often talked how we could live up to his father who was an accomplished inventor. He died too soon, but his sons are all fine examples of young men.

Thanks for sharing.

Anna this is such a nice tribute. From your words, it feels like we know the man, yet we do not. A timely write however, and one that I'll keep in that special place all of us have.

Thank you, Dick.

PS: I’d love it if you would connect the dots from that photo to the poem.
