The GIft

I really enjoyed this poem. The way the author describes the relationship between him and his father is amazing. He aslo describes the things his father did for him he took with him as an adult. His father was a Gift to him. A lot of households these days do not have an active father figure. Young men growing up without fathers. No one teaching them how to become good men. Mothers try but theres still something missing. How can you teach someone to be something that your not? To be a man takes alot. You have to be a good man, father, and husband. Not everyone can master those things. Its takes practice and a role model.
