As a FATHER, your grown, adult, children, they REALLY--THINK--That--THEY--KNOW
All of the , trials, challenges, grownig pains, turmoil, and strife, in their life, living, and LOVES, that you, as a FATHER, had to survive, end ENDURE, every HIGH, point, and every time that each one of them, knocked you DOWN, a NOTCH, and very--DISRESPECTFUL----and----LOW

As a FATHER, one DAY, your, own, grown, children, they will, come to REALIZE
How their father, was so smart, and--wise, to their--SURPRISE

My own, FATHER, we had also, our turbulent--TIMES
Nobody is picture perfect, with-- beautiful, --SUNSHINE

Many a violent storm
With my father i endured, after time and time, i had a chance, to stop acting up, and be with the norm, after countless times of warn

Then, i GOT, a BEATING, AGAIN
And then i hated my DAD, and my brother and i recall, that we would promise to one another, that we would never, ever, speak, to HIM--AGAIN--then--in--another--minute--or--so--HE--again--was--our--BEST--LOVING--DAD--and--FRIEND

Now, my FATHER, has, long ago--PAST
And the LOVE, of my FATHER--in--my--HEART--so--FONDLY--GREATLY--BEAUTIFULLY--LASTS--and--LAST

DAD--he--was--tough--and--strict--and--HARD--impatient--and--yes--the--MINNESOTA--TORNADO--VIOLENT--TURBULENT--DANGEROUS----with--no--fEAR--and--STRONG
But --my --dear--loving--DAD---he--put--us--straight----if--we--strayed--and--we--were--WRONG----he--put--us--right--where--we--BELONGED, ---my --DAD,-- he --would-- not --be --disrespected--, he --would --not --let--anyone-- ever --do -----HIM-WRONG

My DAD,
HE, put us RIGHT, in PLACE, no matter where we were, even in church, if WE--WERE--ACTING--UP--and--BEING--BAD

A ---FATHER, ---carries ---a ---burden, ---of ---love, ---forever ---UNCONDITIONAL--and--deep, ---for --EACH--and--EVERYONE-- of --his ---CHILDREN
Your --own, --children, --challenge ---the- -LOVE-- and-- AFFECTION--with--DEVOUTION--of--a---FATHER ,-- growing --up, --and --even --when --they --are --adults --and --grown --up --already----THEN

As -a -FATHER,- your -grown, -children -they-really- think-that------------ YOU, -----------they, --UNDERSTAND, --and----KNOW
But ----until ----they ----walked---- in ----your ----shoes, ----all ----of ----them ----YEARS----and----YEARS-----and-----experience-----all-----of-----the-----commitment-----of------sacrifice-----and----responsibility----and----endure--every--happiness--fear--and--tear--- they --will --not --comprehend, ---KNOW-- or --UNDERSTAND-- how --it --FELT--to --SURVIVE--and--do --the --BEST---you --could --to ---THRIVE---with --from --them -----EACH--and-- EVERYONE----, every -single---ARGUMENT--and-- knock -out--BLOW

My own, DAD
His children, of three, put him through the ringer, and growing up, hurt, him, decieved him, argued, and angered him, and treated him so--so--BAD

My father, his temper, did him IN
And at --fifty six, --he sadly passed, and his longevity he did not WIN

If only he could of made it to be with his children of--GRAND
If it would of been so, he would of had renewed energy zest and life, and today with us all he would be here to --LOVINGLY--STAND

So a FATHER, endures, the turbulent, times of his children growing up, th good bad and the ugly
But hang on, stand tall, one day, hopefully grand children you will be blessed to recieve, and you will, be the happiest, as now with--ME

One --day, --my --dream, --is --to --be --a --grand -father --of----GREAT
And one day,, to hold in my LOVING, arms, a child, who is my--GREATEST--and--GREAT--before i go on and pass , as my life, living, and--LOVE--FATE

Many in this world achieve great, great, greatness --SUPREME
But for me in my life, living, and love, to hold a loving child in my arms as a ----great--great--grandpa---, is my mission, quest, goal--and--DREAM

At ---age ---SEVENTY, ---a ---great ---great---, GRAMPS---, i ---could----surely----BE
And --at --age --NINETY, --or --so,-- a -----TRIPLE--GREAT--GRAND-PA------i--could--BE--so--we--shall--just--wait--and--SEE

And --who --knows, --if --at --the ----YOUNG--AGE----of--one--hundred--ten--or--SO
I --just --could --BECOME--a--------------GREAT--GREATER--GREATEST-and--GREAT---------grand-pa,---- you----KNOW
