Fathers Don'T Grow Old Poem by Jemarie Ragudo

Fathers Don'T Grow Old

Rating: 4.3


You’re not old, Dad
You got wrinkles
And few hairs
But you’re not old
You got dentures
And cataract
But you’re not old
You’re forgetful
And a crank
But you’re not old

Fathers don’t
Grow old, Dad
Good fathers
Don’t grow old
In the hearts
Of the children
They Loved

How sweet. What a wonderful way to capture the youth of dad in the eyes of a loving child.

This brought tears to my eyes because.... yes we do grow old. But it's amazing to think we remain young in the hearts of our kids.
