Real Fathers (Poem)

Fathers who protect their children deserve appreciation.
These are gatherers of food who fend off starvation.
Fees are paid in full; there’s never depreciation.
Daughters and toddlers are safe under their nation.

They prove that their children come first.
Payroll to payload, they’re there to play their verse.
Main role, second role, they’re there to nurse.
Male role, great role, they stop the abandonment curse.

Their kids’ needs are satisfied, they’re never hollow.
Their kids feel prioritised, the rest follow.
