A Father's Day Poem

This was a poem I wrote for my dad on Father's Day. Enjoy!
                                                                                                
He stands like a tree in a forest
One branch is honesty
One branch is integrity
One branch is bravery
He stands like a tree in a forest

The trees around him sway and part from roots
He stands firm in family
He stands firm in his goodwill towards others
He stands firm in friendship
He stands like a tree in a forest

The other trees focus on frivolous endeavors
He stands with his partner in life
He stands with his laborers
He stands with his children
He stands like a tree in a forest

The other trees do not water their offspring enough
His offspring thrive because they know they are supported by his roots
His offspring remember the branches that hold others up
His offspring love the strong tree with roots
He stands like a tree in a forest

The tree with roots stands forever
His life partner holds him up
His children hold him up
He stands like a tree in a forest

To all the dads out there, keep an being men we can look up to!  Dad, I love you so much. 

Hannah!
