Poem on fathers

Our fathers carry half of our genetic makeup.

Our relationship with our father plays a huge part in who we will become.

In many segments of society, people grow up without ever knowing their fathers.

This is unfortunate because fathers should play as important a role in raising their children as mothers.

A father is the model of a man for his daughter and she will choose a man who is like him.

A father is a model for his son as well.

Fortunately, there is a trend for fathers to be more active in their children's lives.
