Dad

For Fathers Day

Dad

As strong as iron ore,
His patience wears thin.
He is loved to the core,
So he'll never give in.
He's as stubborn as a mule, 
Family always held close.
Through many a duel,
Over who loves the most.

Though not the kind of words I could ever see myself writing I still think the comparison with iron ore is great. The second line sort of indicates a bit of a disciplinarian but one who is loved. Stubborn as a mule suggests someone who would do anything for his family.

Hi Bernie, my dad has always been a strong figure in our family...the second line, is because he is in hospital at the moment and his patience is wearing thin and we want him to fight this horrible pancretititus!!
but yes he will always do anything for us and yes he has always been a firm but kind man ...so you got this pretty spot on...thanks for your kind words xxxx

My Dad was such a lovely guy too .. his heart bigger than a planet and his arms stronger than an ox .. How I miss him is impossible to describe or adequately explain .. I thoroughly appreciate where you are coming from my friend .. I guess we are both a couple of lucky ones .. xx

Lorna all my best to your da, your good self and your lads as well and all your kin for that matter.
Glad to know he is on the mend and the poems we never see, you know those personal and private ones, for immediate family and loved ones around your good self work wonders and speed up any recovery.

A hefyd annwyl Lorna peidiwch ag anghofio cael seibiant i chi'ch hun.
Ymlacio a gwrthod gadael i bryder a straen reoli eich bywyd.
Mae ateb i bob problem bob amser.
Bydd pethau'n gweithio allan i chi pan fyddwch chi'n cymryd amser i ymlacio, adnewyddu, adfer ac ailwefru'ch enaid.
A dim ond!!!😄

I wish you well on that endeavour my dear friend and thank you for your endless kindness and for your uplifting messages.
