He's rough and lacks in etiquette,
Society
would say.
He has no classy attributes,
To help him on his
way.
He's not a fancy dresser,
And he's not so
trimmed and neat.
With simple clothes and simple shoes,
He wears
upon his feet.
He doesn't belong to a club,
Or drive a
shiny car.
And when he takes vacations,
He does not go very
far.
He doesn't dine on fine cuisine,
To him
fast food's a treat.
And he may use a plastic fork,
When it is time
to eat.
He has a modest little house,
But has all
that he needs.
He keeps his lawn cut nice and short,
He even trims
his weeds.
He works long hours at his job,
To make an
average pay.
And even if he's sick or tired,
He goes to work each
day.
His job is just a factory job,
His pay
just makes ends meet.
But, a few good friends and family,
Make his
life complete.
He's not well versed in poetry,
Theater or
the arts.
And wisdom is not something,
That he constantly
imparts.
He loves the simple things in life,
For
riches doesn't thirst.
He knows what is important,
And his family is
put first.
The wealth that God has given him,
To
treasure in his life.
A loving son and daughter,
And a very special
wife.
He never has much money,
And his life is
not a show.
But he is still the richest man,
That I will ever
know.
To others he's a simple man,
And fame he's
never had.
But he's the greatest man I know,
He also is my
Dad.
