Father's Day For A Champion Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Father's Day For A Champion

Rating: 5.0


May you share with Kyle
Your sense of humour
Teaching him to be happy
Whenever he's a little sad

May you teach him baseball
Learning that those strike-outs
Are his life's best lessons
Stepping stones to home runs

May you teach him football
Blocking him from bullies
Quarterbacking him to
His life's many touchdowns

May you teach him hockey
Saving him from great harm
Scoring the winning goals
In his challenging life

And may you teach him golf
All about hole in one
Not missing knee knockers
Flying like an eagle

Thank you for the sentiment, Poet Menon. And for appreciating the mild humour. It was a little tricky to fit into a poem with sports' analogies. In case you haven't guessed, my brother is a sports enthusiast! s

He has a heart of gold. And is passing it on to his son. Thanks for your sentiment, LeeAnn.

A great father can do many, . many things. He can be the first teacher of his children and can nurture their minds for a lifetime aside from being a good provider of the family.

So very true, Rose Marie. I had a strict father, but he had instilled good values and morals!
