We stand on his shoulders
And lean against his back
He is always there when we need him
Multi-talented, so he wears many hats
His time is valuable
And he runs his business well
There is no need to brag or boast
Because his presence alone tells
The builder, provider, director and preacher
The doctor, lawyer, athlete and teacher
He leads by example where many are sure to follow
His road is not easy and where few have even traveled
He is your father, your brother, your mentor and friend
He is all of these things and more
There to lend his helping hand and expertise over and over again
