"Dad's my World".

Mum's the Word...
But Dad's my World...
Growing up with a strict father...
Feared him & relied on her...
Thought mom was better...
Realise now he is our master...

Gave us a good start...
His principles were easy to follow...
Treat everyone with respect...
No matter who they were...
Division wasn't part of his agenda...

All were welcome to our home...
Mom cooked whilst dad entertained...
He never interfered in our life...
Let us find our own ground...
He'll always be around...

Allowed us to be free...
To guide us, when things went wrong...
Together they did their best...
It's easy to criticise...

Parents don't come with a manual...
For "A Good Parenting Skills"...
I realise now as a parent...
So will my children...
And their children too.
