A father and a dad are not the same：
One can be a dad and not a father，
Or one can be a father and not bother
To earn through love the more endearing name.
Some find fatherhood a bit too tame，
Leaving all the details to the mother，
Or dumping the sweet burden on another
Man with just a passing twinge of shame.
You have been our dad so many years
That you”ve become the landscape that is home，
The mountain that we look to from afar.
