Man Of Steel (Fathers) Poem by Uche Nwanze

The weight upon his shoulders his broad shoulders bear.
He bears the brunt of all that is laid bare.
Of sterner stuff, made of steel yet soft like wool.
A firm hand, the rod he will not spare.
His sturdy arms a fortress, the wolf he put to flight.
A hero he saves the day, unfriendly fires puts he out.
A benefactor, food on the table that many mouths never go to bed hungry.
His strong still voice, a guide so i don't stray. His arms to lift me up when I fall.
The pains in his heart, his smiles conceal, they are our super heroes.
Like a coconut hard on the outside, soft on the inside. A pillar of support and strength.
Spare a thought for sacrifices he makes.
Say a little prayer, no harm follow his paths.
Blow a million kisses, for the Moon he will give.
A Simple Thank you, a fathers blessing it will beget.
Their sacrifices, we'll never forget.
Their love, never taken for granted.
