Analysis of Fathers are like the ocean

Christen Kuikoua 2007 (United States)



Fathers are like the ocean,
Vast deep, strong in motion,
Endless depths of love and care,
Always present, always there.

Like the waves that crash ashore,
Fathers protect us evermore,
Guiding us in life's rough tide,
Leading us to the other side.

Their wisdom flows just like the sea,
Their strength like a tidal energy,
Their kindness like a gentle breeze,
Their love, an oceanic immensity.

Through storms and waves they stand their ground,
A beacon of hope when we're feeling down,
Fathers are like the ocean vast,
Always enduring, forever steadfast.

So let us honor fathers today,
For all they give and all they say,
For being our rock in life's great ocean,
Guiding us with unwavering devotion.
