A Father
An exemplary figure worthy emulating. He's an imperfect man made perfect
A Father,
The bedrock of His children,
The shoulder on which the girl child rests,
The source of the male child's strength,
A Father, many a time a disciplinarian,
Yet so loving and kind,
His presence gives hope to his children,
And takes all fears away from his sight,
His love lays bare the feminine side of the girl child,
And gives rise to the strongest,
And the most diligent male child,
Blessed is the woman who submits herself to him,
And blessed is the one in whose world he's found,
For he is an exemplary figure worthy of emulation.

THE PEN OF A READY WRITER
What beauty springs forth, When the pen meets its master; The writer, The scribblings of meaningless words, Joined together to make a meaningful masterpiece, Inspired or uninspired, The writer must always be ready, The seal of the promise his guide, Or perhaps a model or mentor, Whatever it may be, It surely is of God; his greatest motivation, His beauty and splendour expressed, Ever so greatly in all creation, The greatest inspiration to the ready writer, His hands are made ready, Even as his mind is opened up, To the endless possibilities that are welled up inside him, He pens down all these possibilities; words they may be When his mind can no longer hold them in, It could take him a minute, or probably an hour But the finished work, how grand and beautiful, Oh how great are the works of the ready writer!
