My Pa<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The wisdom of years,<\/span>
\nYet the heart of a child.
\nFerocious in fury,<\/span>
\nYet tender and mild.<\/p>\n

Stubborn in purpose,<\/span>
\nWith a listening heart
\nHe’s there to the finish,
\nAs he was from the start.<\/p>\n

Ever my comfort,<\/span>
\nMy rock-solid strength.
\nTo guide or protect me,<\/span>
\nGo whatever length.<\/p>\n

As a child, I beheld him
\nIn wonder and awe,<\/span>
\nAnd that’s still how I feel
\n‘Bout my wonderful\u00a0Pa.<\/p>\n
