O.J^JLY ,A DAD
Only a dad, with a tirea face,
Coming home from the daily race; <
Bringing little of gold and fame j
To show how well he has played the game,
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To s^q him coma home and to hear his voice,
Only a dad, of a brood of four,
One of ten million men or more, •
plodding along in the daily ‘strife,
Bearing the whips and 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 protd,
Merely one of the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving, from day to day,
Facing whatever rripy come his v/ay;
Silent, whenever the harsh condemn,
And hearing 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.
These are the lines that for him I pen;
OILY A DAD, BUT THE BEST OF MEN.
(Dedicated to "Dad” wherever he
may be—yours and mine.)
