Fatherhood

My children are my most effective teachers.
I learn joy listening to them laugh.
I learn heartbreak when they try and fail.
I learn pride when they try again and succeed.
I learn valor when they face their fears.
I learn kindness in their selfless acts for others.
I learn faith when they pray.
I learn heartbreak when I fail them.
I learn humility when they forgive me.
I learned the depth and breadth of love, when I became a father.
