“Fathers are…
The teeth on a saw,
The head of a nail,
The blades on a mower.

Fathers are…
The grit in a tumbler,
The cement in the pit,
The coin for the machine.

Fathers are…
The air in the tires,
The spring in the suspension,
The key to the ignition.

Fathers are...
the confidence in a dare,
The energy of a command,
The boots for the trail.

Tis true you might make things work without them,
but not at all like they were meant to.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Making Wishes: Quotes, Thoughts, & a Little Poetry for Every Day of the Year

“The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.”
