How do you make a man feel like a man?

When you lead him by the 
hand?



How can you be a daughter?

When you inherit the
 burden of being the 
man?



How can I take your fatherly advice?

When you give me the 
problems that you cannot solve?



How can we be friends?

When your love of currency is the 
your strongest connection?

When you deny efforts for interaction or 
can't pick up the phone to say Hello?



Who can encourage you?

This person is not me...
Since a daughter isn't me.



Some women have
said they never knew their dad 
others hate their dads

sure even more could be said…


But the 
dad I new was special and no wrong could he do

my dad fit no rule he was the
 exception to the 
rule.



Only time will reveal a true man's disposition

Once life and its pressures have taken him out of his ideal position

At the 
time he befell to his less than desired did he shape the
 rules that most women know as familiar.



I love my father with all his inconsistency

But a fiscal skeleton I no longer wish to be

For once I want to think about just me



Now that roles are reversed and my strength 
and guidance are needed

A father I am, for my father, if that is what's needed.
