FATHER IS POLE STAR FOR CHILDREN
one sees, The Pole Star,
a bright fixed point, every night,
to the north, though far;
on high seas, if adrift, in plight,
the Star, helps get bearings right.
fathers, like Pole Star,
are there, when one is in doubt;
they are our radars,
to tell us, to take which route,
that to aspirations, suit.
fathers know pit-falls,
in their time, they have gone through,
having seen it all;
lesson, failed fathers teach, too;
case study at home, so true.
kids dote, their fathers,
and see them, strong like King Kong,
and like Dharmender,
handsome; there is nothing wrong,
when, kids imagine, play along.
some are super dads.
during lifetime, they blaze trails,
and the world applauds.
innings ends,bones, gone frail;
their legacy, generations, hail;
there are no bad dads;
it is a myth, that we should, bust;
to blame dad is fad;
as dads look harsh, in the crust,
while hearts sing: ' family first '

A beautiful tribute to all fathers..... the pole star that guides the mariners at the turbulent seas of life. A father gives the right direction to his children when they stay confused at the forking junctions of life. A father may seem to have a hard crust, but inside, there is a soft core full of love. I agree with all the qualities you have highlighted here.A beautiful poem.
