Grizzled and hardboiled,
Tough as a boot,
Charming at times.
Never in a suit.
One way is his way
The only say is his say
There is no other way
Than his way.
Conservative thinking,
Nonconformity is the norm
Steadfastly unblinking,
He protects us from harm.
Loyal and true,
Never ending,
He looks good in blue
Forever defending.
Family is number one.
It is all there is.
My Father I love,
For he is what he is.
