A Father's Voice

In parenting, a father's role

Is often seen as less than whole

His voice may fade, his words ignored

As mother's will takes centerboard

He longs to guide, to shape and mold

His children's hearts with love so bold

But in the home, he's pushed aside

As mother's whims become the guide

Her views may dominate the scene

And fathers feel like they're unseen

Their worth reduced to just a cheque

While mother's ways are deemed correct

But fathers have a heart so true

A love that's deep, a soul that's new

They want to help, to do their part

To shape their children's minds and heart

So let us hear the father's voice

And give him room to make a choice

For in the end, it takes them both

To raise a child and guide them.
