SINGLE DAD <br />He was not one of wealth and fame <br />And no one even knew his name. <br />He was just known as dad, the only father they ever had. <br />He worked long hours for very little pay <br />Yet their clothes were clean every day. <br />He never lost hope, yet he learned to cope. <br />He worked at night so he could stay with his children during the day. <br />He would give them breakfast then take them to school <br />So that they could learn the golden rules. <br />His routine was always the same- it would hardly ever change. <br />Clean the house, take a nap, and for the children prepare a snack. <br />Then start to prepare for dinner, which wasn't always a winner. <br />Yet they ate healthy and never went without <br />Of that there is no doubt. <br />In the afternoon pick up the kids and bring them home <br />During the day they were never alone. <br />They would change their clothes then have a snack <br />While he took another nap. <br />They did their homework when he slept <br />In the softness of his bed. <br />He would then wake up and dinner he would serve <br />And not a complaint was ever heard <br />They would say grace and he would ask: " how was your day? " <br />Wash the dishes and put them away. <br />They could watch TV. until it was nine <br />Take their showers and then bedtime. <br />This was the life of a single DAD <br />, and it was the best part of his life he ever had. <br /> CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING!<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/single-dad-2/
