Echoes of Fatherhood

In the quiet hours of dusk, he stands,

A guardian strong, with weathered hands.

His eyes, like beacons, guiding light,

Through stormy seas and darkest night.

In childhood dreams, he's a towering tree,

Whose branches shelter, whose roots run deep.

With whispered wisdom, he imparts,

Lessons learned from his own heart.

In laughter shared and tears embraced,

He molds the path where futures are traced.

A steady presence through life's storm,

A compass guiding, ever warm.

His laughter echoes, a melody sweet,

His words of comfort, a soothing beat.

Through victories won and battles lost,

His love remains, no matter the cost.

He teaches courage, in quiet ways,

And kindness, in the words he says.

His strength, a fortress, unbending, true,

A beacon of hope in skies of blue.

So here's to fathers, both young and old,

Whose love and guidance, a treasure untold.

In their embrace, we find our home,

In their hearts, we're never alone.
