A homeschool dad is second to none
                                        When it comes to mixing learning and fun.
                                        After working hard the whole day long,
                                        His will to teach and play is still strong.

                                        Whether it’s hide and seek, checkers or chess,
                                        Dad is the person who does them the best.
                                        He coaches the kids on how to catch and throw
                                        Plus so much more; there’s nothing he doesn’t know.

                                        Dad can repair almost any doll or toy
                                        That might be broken by a little girl or boy,
                                        Using the quality tools at his disposal
                                        Which are neatly arranged on his workshop table.

                                        Dad builds book shelves, bird houses, sand boxes,
                                        And his hand-tossed pizza tastes delicious!
                                        Yes, dad can cook and he doesn’t stop there–
                                        He even changes diapers with great care.

                                        On weekends he goes with the kids biking,
                                        Four-wheeling, sailing, camping or hiking.
                                        Then for his vacation he always takes us
                                        On a trip to the beach and other places.

                                        Homeschool dads are dedicated to their families,
                                        Instrumental in creating unforgettable memories,
                                        Forming a father-child bond that lasts a lifetime
                                        While supporting mom and being her lifeline.

                                        Dad also lends that special masculine touch
                                        To a home full of children he loves so much
                                        As he stops fights, heals hurts, and educates them
                                        In good character, virtue, and discipline.

                                        Dad is a provider, protector, counselor,
                                        Role model, hero, principal and tutor.
                                        Whether it’s science, math, or reading aloud,
                                        Dad’s instructional skills are of worth to be proud.

                                        But most importantly he is our captain and leader,
                                        Spiritual head of the house and scripture reader,
                                        Following divine truths set forth by the God of all men,
                                        Through wisdom handed down from our Father in heaven.
