Functional family

The Dad who IS a hero.

Fit body and mind.

—-

It’s there within reach.

Quit thinking you’re not worthy

And make it happen.

—-

That path to Nowhere

Led to this path to Somewhere

Jealousy cast off.

—-

You will shine happy.

Chains replaced by ribbons of Joy

Your family will sing.

He, who's waiting on the bench, can give you all of this and more. All you have to do is choose “yes” for the win.

    This poem is amazing. It shows what a good family means and how to believe in yourself. The powerful image of the ribbons shows how things in life can change for the better. Great job!
