Analysis of How A Father Heals
How a father heals
Is not by means of force
How a father heals
Is by means of voice
How a father heals
Is through explanation and love
How a father heals
Is tough, rough, but more than above
Above all else,
Above all the crying
The shaking
The screaming
The pain
Above all else,
The happiness
The gratitude
The love
The lack of shame
A fathers touch is all
All a daughter could ask
A fathers touch is all
All a daughter needs
Through explanation,
Through sit downs
Through talks
Through anything BUT frowns
A father heals
A father loves
A father cares
And that’s a tug
A tug at the heart,
And tug at the eyes
A tug at the soul
A tug at the mind
How a father heals…
Is through genuine
Undying
Unchanging
Unwavering
Unconditional….
Love
