With father's day coming up, I thought this picture of a dad with his children, helping them to balance each by using his feet, was a poignant fatherly scene. These people are strangers that I captured on my camera while on vacation at Shetec State Park in Southeastern Minnesota in August, 2012.
I think this captures the essence of a father quite well.

This poem is written in iambic tetrameter with a abab rhyme scheme. In the third stanza I used the feminine form of the meter, giving two matching lines (line 1 and 3) of 9 syllables ending on a soft accent. So, the meter then reads: da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM da.

This picture was taken by the author himself.
