About The Artwork

This painting is dedicated to the Father Being a father is one of the greatest things That has ever happened to me However it is also one of the hardest things In my life to understand. For it is both exciting and joyful As it is straining and stressful Because of both the sound of laughter and gorgeous smiles And the not knowing what to do and the constant hunger in the night. I always heard that it can be easy at times But I found out the hard way that it doesn't always stay easy No matter how hard you wish it Being a father can't always be the easiest thing in the world. I should know from experience on my part That mothers in this world Give us less credit as fathers Than they do about us knowing how to cook and clean. What I'm trying to get at is pretty much this That being a father isn't always a walk in the park However I will say this about being a father It is definitely worth it if you love kids and have the fund to support them. So I'm hoping that I make at being a great father To the wonderful and beautiful daughter that I have And to the woman that I'm going to marry Because I'm ready to die for both of them.
