Poem For My Father: You Are Always


Happy father’s day! My Dad is that guy that anyone can call on for help with something. Especially if that help involves fixing or building something. He is a caring man that always looks after the people around him

This poem is dedicated to him.

You are always 

You are always up for a drink
		Let me drink to you 

You are always good for a laugh
        	Let me laugh with you

You are always skilled at fixing things
        	Let me fix things for you

You are always ready to help 
        	Let me help you

You are always willing to provide
		Let me provide for you

You are always a source of shelter
		Let me shelter you

You are always prepared to protect
		Let me protect you

You are always available to listen
        	Let me listen to you

You are always a shoulder for me
               Let me be a shoulder for you

You are always strong 
               Let me be strong for you

You are always unafraid to cry 
		Let me cry with you

You are always there for me
	       Let me be there for you
