To a child.
They are the greatest guys you know.
Many are determine to be the best example.

To a child.
We aspire to be many times like them.
Because many are better than it appears.

To a child.
We remember their direct approach to truth.
A simple lie had you facing him.

Dad.
The man that placed us first in his life.
Sure there are some in this society that might not measure up.
But I'm not speaking of them in this poem.

Altho' a relation's connection is not always about money.
As certain people loves to holler.

Dad.
That man we know went the distance.
To get you the smallest of thing to make you smile.
You instantly respected him.
And was determine not to ever let him down.

From somewhere being connected to him.
Made you learned a valuable lesson.

He might not always rank high like a mother.
He made a point to alert you.
You were his son and not his brother.

Any failure that you seen.
Wasn't seen in his personality.
Because he wanted you to succeed.

And he pushed you harder in your dreams.
