This poem is dedicated to every man who has stepped up to the responsibilities of fatherhood.
He gets up before dawn And hurries to earn the family's bread. He tries his very best To please a wife who needs him And children whom he may not have fathered. He takes on his fatherly responsibilities With dignity and pride. He needs the world to let him know That he is "indispensable." He is the father that keeps it all together. The one that keeps society sane and the family protected. He is the father that should be praised at all times. The stranger who made himself comfortable And became the blanket of the household. Thank God for all the men who stepped up To the duty of fatherhood tirelessly. For when God asks for more angels, He expects them to take over. Congratulations for a job well done!
Excellent positive message in this lovely poem.
I had the best dad ever!!!I didn't have step dad though but I know there are some great ones out there.I feel sad for anyone who can't say they had a caring dad or kind step dad or decent reliable father figure,(I have read some tragic horror tales re that subject even on this site.)Not having a reliable father around must hurt them so much and in fact I know it does,as my youngest daughter has never had a dad living in her home (she's going on thirteen)and it is an empty dark void even in a loving happy home.
Yes Carmel,these type of good men deserve much praise,I admire them so.You mentioned God in your poem Carmel,
very apt,for those wkids who have no earthly
dad to 'be there'and count on it is good to know that they still all can count on their heavenly Father for reliable Love...always.
I think your poem is Tops!

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
