Fatherhood is son, fatherhood is daughter;
Fatherhood is fun, fatherhood is laughter;
Fatherhood is questions, fatherhood is answers;
Fatherhood is prayers, fatherhood is gratitude;

Fatherhood is late-nights, fatherhood is early-mornings;
Fatherhood is indoors, fatherhood is outdoors;
Fatherhood is worry, fatherhood is hurry;
Fatherhood is tears, fatherhood is fears;

Fatherhood is teaching, fatherhood is learning;
Fatherhood is teasing, fatherhood is pleasing;
Fatherhood is guiding, fatherhood is goading;
Fatherhood is singing, fatherhood is grounding;

Fatherhood is waiting, fatherhood is wishing;
Fatherhood is pictures, fatherhood is memories;
Fatherhood is discipline, fatherhood is punishment;
Fatherhood is freedom, fatherhood is reward;

Fatherhood is hopes, fatherhood is dreams;
Fatherhood is joy, fatherhood is sorrow;
Fatherhood is love, fatherhood is longing;
Fatherhood is patience, fatherhood is impatience;

Fatherhood is fulfillment; fatherhood is contentment;
Fatherhood is family, fatherhood is destiny;
Fatherhood is yesterday, fatherhood is to-day;
Fatherhood is tomorrow, fatherhood is forever.
