Fathers are wonderful people
too little understood,
And we do not sing their praises
as often as we should.
For somehow Father seems to be
the man who pays the bills,
While Mother binds up little hurts
and nurses all our ills.
And Father struggles daily
to live up to his image
As protector and provider
and "hero of the scrimmage,"
And perhaps that is the reason
we sometimes get the notion
That Fathers are not subject
to the thing we call emotion.
