a child may not know
that word of support
and on we go
why is it so
how can it be
the need to grow
never serves as well
but a fathers nod
is perfect gel
yes you can ring that bell
and confidence becomes real
with successes to tell
just a proud pop
means so much
triggers kids to stop
steer clear of a flop
in line with his smile
easy and away we hop
he gets little thanks
shouldering grief and trouble
from foolish child pranks
his remark clearly ranks
and has my back
chasing inner critic skanks
as small as it seems
yet never enough
it takes millions of beams
kindly dad regimes
a pleasure to behold
a path to our dreams
