The Overlooked Yet Awesome

Our trivial existence 

In this gargantuan world

Is full of awesome

One I may consider

Is the one I call my father

A man of self-deprecation 

He values his family more than his troubled knee can keep

Despite his grueling preserverance in the workforce 

Despite the loss of his better half, his friend, his children's mother

He manages to keep food on the table

Once only and soley the breadwinner

He became the mother 

All the while sacrificing 

Any simple leisure 

For himself, his self, and him 

Yet he is wherever and whenever there, when he is in need

For that I say the one whom I call my father

The Overlooked Yet Awesome 

For all the things he done, but for not himself

Is Awesome
