Part I: Real Life Dad
I am a real-life father to a girl, I am
my girl is... WHAT? 16 already?
Nooooooo! This can’t be happening!
Just yesterday she was my new-born baby!
Well, that explains why she argues with everything I say
as a matter of principle day after day...
Keeps my arguments sharp, yes she does
and patience I’ve developed
just because...
with dad next to her- (mom doesn't have the nerve!)
so dad's have their place, and they don't have a clue
that they're doing what the mom's know better not to do!
Part II: AP Dad
Here on AP a dad is a guide
and a safe male voice in a young girl’s life
that can go way beyond mere writing critiques
of which there is no formula for such mystical techniques...
To just be here to impart male wisdom or folly
both are equally of important value
when a girl is probing for a male response
and how it compares to a feminine view...
How much farther beyond writing an AP dad can go
is limited by many intervening things
but moments of caring, love, and simple advise
are moments spent wisely for this would-be King.
Dad, uncle, brother, grandpa, nephew,
son, great-grandfather and hubby, too
I've become them all on AP, and the roles are the same-
to be there for that male point of view!
Adding your comment:
(uh oh, I'll turn into some evil stalker dude when I'm older 
... that wouldn't be good)
lol (logical conclusion, since I'm on it!) 
) with my real life dad as well... except that hasn't helped his patience, lol!
