A dad is a like an oak tree, with his feet firmly planted in the soil of our birth. He’s the solid hardwood we all aspire to be,
strong, trusting, kind, and the one we know will always be there for us.
His long arms are the protective branches reaching wide around his grove of seedlings and anyone standing in his shade feels safe and secure and loved.
A dad's trunk may widen, his leaves above may pale and thin, but he will always be our towering yet gentle oak, the creator of our forest, and so eternally loved.
CJ, I think you have picked the perfect metaphor for the perfect Dad.
Although the strength of your writing is always there, as in this poem, the love of your Dad shines the brightest.
