From spirituality, to their social mental life.

SILENT, STRONG DAD: FATHER'S DAY

He never looks for praise 
Neither did all what he do 
For something in return 
Went out of his way to be the real dad 
Silent in his thought to make a strong dad 

He’s never a boastful type 
Of what he has or acquired over the years 
As the result is replica in the lives of his children 
Respectful and humility is seen in him 
Silent, strong dad 

Who channel all his energy 
In profitable venture 
In building that kind home 
He wants to live in and also his family 
Strong in times of hardship 

Whose face never wears 
A long look irrespective of the world’s problems 
Weathering storm standing all through in it all 
Going out in having a faceoff with the storm 
In bringing his home and family to safe place 

His dreams are seldom spoken 
His wants are very few 
And most of the time his worries 
Will go unspoken, too 
Silent, strong dad

He's there...a firm foundation 
Through all our storms of life 
A sturdy hand to hold onto 
In times of stress and strife 
Silent strong dad

MEN MADE BOYS

To all the men out there
Who walk tirelessly and effortlessly
To make sure they held down
The home front comes rain sunshine
Hot water who turns men into boys

Who makes sure
They go the distance
Taking the mile to transform
And shaping the future of societies
For the betterment of mankind

Men who dare the impossible
Beats the odds stand up for the right
Fought to the shore of the victory line
In making sure victoria reaches home
Touching down the line of duty

Men made boys
Out of good characters
With honest report
But at home and in the public eyes
Succeeding not just out there but at home

As home is where honor begins
As charity begins at home and ends out there
Creating boys who grew out to become
Nobleman with bearing the badge of honor
Not boys who grew up and becomes animals in human form

MY DAD: JOHN.A. OKOH

The coolest gentle man
Have ever knew
So full of gracious behaviour
A man of peace who seeks
A peaceful environment

The man of the people found by all
Love by all Heaven’s fall angel
Send down to mother earth
To distribute lots of love and kindness to humanity

The evidence of meekness and humility
From the meekness that hoses out
From this great being of great quality

My dad: John .A. Okoh

Of a truth your kind of man
Is so rare to be found
You are charitable and accommodative nature
Makes you singled out from the rest
With a pure sincere honest heart

Nothing but an open heart
Who goes the distance to see his world
A better place for not just his own household
But for all both far and near

Whose discipline even soft
But a no-nonsense man
Who’s act of discipline is a top notch
Can not be compare to another

Heaven blesses the day you grace this world

To have you as a father who goes out of his way
To provide, protect and stands up for his family
My dad: John .A. Okoh happy father’s day

A FATHER’S LEGACY

Is a long smoke
That wont quench for a long time
As it smells is sense from a far
You cannot hide it
A father’s legacy

Travels fast
Like a speed of light
At the blink of an eye
Like a theif in the night
Just as the sand at the sea shore

A father’s legacy
Is of a great gift to his children
After long he has gone
And take a bowl from this earth
Just like a footprint on the sands of time

Is a legacy for the children
Both born and unborn
Is the duty of the father
To make sure he leaves
Nothing but a great priceless legacy

That will outlive the sands
Of time and memory for his children
As he lives the life he has for now
For the later of making a long lasting impact
For the children

Of making the children
See the real essence of living
A life of worthy of emulation
In social relationship to their fellowmen
Dwelling in love, peace and stability with their fellow human

A legacy of love
Is the best thing to hand over
To the children in the world of hates
And unfair criticisms here and there
A father’s legacy

At such a time like these

FOR THAT MAN AT FATHER’S DAY

Who walks his hands to the bone
To make sure the family fend fine
Who goes out of his way to create
An enabling environment for his household
For that man at father’s day

Who knows what a family is
Who never negotiate his family
Happiness and well being for anything in this world
Bringing love to shine through the darkest night
For that man at father’s day

Who knows the worth of family
At the heart of every human existence
The family rises and falls at the fountain of togetherness
Of quality time spent with the family
For that man at father’s day

Who never runs to succeed
Out there only in his career nor the corporate world
But who believes that succeeding at home
Is really what matters so much in life
As is better to succeed at home then to lose the family

For that man who goes the distance
To setting the space for his children
In guiding children of a strong moral upbring
Who in-turn tomorrow become a blessing to the world
For that man who chase the wind

Come hell hot water
Who is ready to stand
And go the distance for the family
A father who stand tall when the days are not fine at all
Whose strength is a shoulder to lean when the darks growth dim

A MAN ENOUGH TO BE A FATHER

There are many fathers
Scattered around today
Our world is filled with me
Who transcends from boy
From a teen to adulthood
 
In becoming a father
From a teen into a man
Sooner or later adulthood
Caught up with this small little both
A man enough to be a father
 
And the journey begins
Of where he ends up to
Of what kind of father
This small boy will become
And as moments flew by
 
Not all men are man enough
To be a father to build and lead
A home-built firm upon so many
Godly attributes to your spice up
This home he is about to built
 
A man enough to be father
Whose have the fear of God
Instill in him rule by the Spirit of God
Control by Him filled with Godly attributes
A man enough to be a father
 

THE COMMITMENT OF A FATHER

As a law-enforcement officer

I've seen firsthand the deep hurt

And devastation that fatherlessness

Brings in a child's life

The commitment of a father

Our prisons are full of men and women

Who lived recklessly after being abandoned

By their fathers, wounded by the men

Who should have loved them the most.

Many now follow the same pattern

Of irresponsibility that their fathers did

While so many mothers have sacrificed

To help their children survive, they were never

Intended to carry the weight alone

We thank God for them

But research is proving that a child

Also desperately needs a daddy

There's no way around this fact

The commitment of a father

As you know, earlier this year, my family endured

The tragic loss of our 9-year-old daughter, Emily

Her death forced me to realize that not only had

I not taken advantage of the priceless time I had with her

But that I did not truly understand how crucial

My role was as a father to her and our son, Dylan

Since her passing, I've asked God to show me

Through His Word how to be the father that I need to be

I now believe that God desires for every father

To courageously step up and do whatever it takes

To be involved in the lives of his children

But more than just being there or providing for them,

He’s to walk with them through their lives and be a visual

Representation of the character of God, their father in heaven

A father should love his children and seek to win their hearts

He should protect them, discipline them and teach them about God

He should model how to walk with integrity

And treat others with respect and should call out

His children to become responsible men and women

Who live their lives for what matters in eternity

Some men will hear this and mock it or ignore it.

But I tell you that as a father, you are accountable to God

For the position of influence He has given you.

You can't fall asleep at the wheel only to wake up one day

And realize that your job or your hobbies have no eternal value

But the souls of your children do.

Some men will hear this and agree with it

But have no resolve to live it out.

Instead, they will live for themselves

And waste the opportunity to leave a

Godly legacy for the next generation

But there are some men who, regardless of the mistakes

We’ve made in the past, regardless of what our fathers

Did not do for us, will give the strength of our arms and the rest

Of our days to loving God with all that we are and to teach our children

To do the same, and, whenever possible, to love and mentor others

Who have no father in their lives but

Who desperately need help and direction

We are inviting any man whose heart

Is willing and courageous to join us in this resolution

In my home, the decision has already been made

You don't have to ask who will guide my family,

Because by God's grace, I will

You don't have to ask who will

Teach my son to follow Christ, because I will

Who will accept the responsibility

Of providing and protecting my family? I will

Who will ask God to break the chain of destructive

Patterns in my family's history? I will

Who will pray for and bless my children to boldly pursue

Whatever God calls them to do? I am their father. I will.

I accept this responsibility, and it is my privilege

To embrace it. I want the favor of God

And His blessing on my home.

Any good man does.

So where are you, men of courage?

Where are you, fathers who fear the Lord?

It's time to rise up and answer the call

That God has given to you and to say,

"I will. I will. I will. 

OF BECOMING A FATHER

A father is one who leads is family

In becoming what God has destiny the family to be

Must not fall short in that responsibility

Of making the home he oversees as shepherd

To lead the flocks in a path leading to safe land

A father is one who got the heart

Of his family in mind

No matter what comes he stands to take responsibility

Not someone that runs away when pressure of life come hitting

The ship of which he in

Becoming a father

Is a big and huge task

He must follow due process minding all details

To make sure he leads no members astray

Guiding against woe in sheep clothe

As he makes God is sole counsellor

When he’s not the one been full of himself

As he watches his children grew always there for them

He move them close to God never wants to be a failed father

But to be a better-off father for His family and environs

To reflect a good character in the sight of the children

Of becoming a good and godly father

Making the home habitable enough for all to live in

Not a kind of bricks war...no but a Christian Home

Of becoming a father

A teachable father...a loving one for that matter

A God fearing father...a loving husband for her spouse

A godly father who’s got God at large in his dealings and heart

A father who ruleth his house in sobriety and humility

Of becoming a father...a godly father

So be a father because a father

Is like the shepherd of his home

And you will not want to stray your family away

From the standard of which God requires from you

Of becoming a father you have so much to do

A praying father...prayer is the main ingredient in building a home

A loving father...who love unreserveable

A teachable father...one who is teachable

A selfless father...and one who has a listening ear

Of becoming a father do you have what it takes to be one

FATHER’S DAY IN HEAVEN

Setting up way high above
Looking down mother earth
From the celestial skies
You cast a gaze down here watching me
Father’s day in heaven

As the strand of your hair
Lives long ago while embark on the journey
Wish you still smile enough with so much laughter
To accompany your stay up way high in heaven
But heaven got the answer that time we ever tell

Can the heavens hear your laughter
As you sit and reminisce
About the time we had together
And other people that you miss?
Father’s day in heaven

And Daddy, do you still take walks
Along heaven's seas?
And when you gaze upon the surf
Do you remember walks with me?
Father’s day in heaven

Are your standing 

With those brave young men
Upon its perfect shores?
Finally by their sides again
Your comrades from the war
Father’s day in heaven


As each day goes on I carry you
Inside of my heart everywhere I go
You are never far from me
I see you in my smile
And in whom I grew to be

A TRUE HERO: FATHER’S DAY

What makes a man a true hero? 
Is it is hardness and toughness 
Or been manly enough to fights odds 
Is it all about been there all the way for his family 
A true hero 

I’ve often thought this through 
It’s someone who is macho? 
It’s someone who is true? 
It’s someone who’s got a fierce countenance 
A true hero 

Not at all 
That is not a hero 
He’s just a simple man 
Always there when things go wrong 
And who does the best he can 

For his family 
As a strive to be a faithful husband and father 
He lends a strong shoulder 
To ease the flow of tears 
He holds high the lantern 
To drive away fears 

Who goes the distance 
For his wife and kids (family) 
Who is man enough to man up 
A father…a true hero 
Whose smile brings encouragement 

His frown more adequate 
To make one soon relent 
When some had need of guidance 
His ears he’d freely lend 
You chose, not him could you find 

A man called by God and led by Him 
Who goes to the distance to lead his home 
Building a godly home for the family he love 
He had no need of medals 
Or his glory this is true hero
