And He called it – Dad.
 
      Be Kind to Thy Father
      "Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young,
      Who loved thee so fondly as he?
      He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue,
      And joined in thy innocent glee."
      Margaret Courtney

      Only a Dad

      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,
