@Quoth the Raven: Ah thanks! I know my dad is not on Voltra but the poem expressed all the things I wanna say to him. He is the best of men just like the poem says. :vanora_smile:

I like your poem too! Thanks for sharing! It's so descriptive and colorful I can really imagine a painting filled with mythical creatures. It is truly inspiring!

A poem for my dad whose birthday is coming soon. Happy Birthday Dad!

Only a Dad
Edgar Guest, 1881 - 1959


Only a dad with a tired face,
Coming home from the daily race,
Bringing little of gold or fame
To show how well he has played the game;
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come and to hear his voice.

Only a dad with a brood of four,
One of ten million men or more
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and the scorns of life,
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.

Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.

Only a dad but he gives his all
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing with courage stern and grim,
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen:
Only a dad, but the best of men.

@Glume: I am sorry you lost your dad.. Has a prophetic dream ever given you an edge in the waking world?

When I told my dad I had these dreams he was just like "Eh, just let me know if you dream about the lottery numbers."
