Ang Tunay na Cool Dad

Ang tunay na Cool Dad:
Ay hindi nasusukat sa matikas nyang mga balikat.
Bagkus nadarama sa higpit ng kaniyang mga yakap.
At lalong hindi sa lakas ng kaniyang boses.
Kundi, sa malumanay niyang tinig.

Ang tunay na Cool Dad:
Ay hindi nakikilala sa dami ng kaniyang mga kabarkada.
Kundi sa mabungang pakikisama sa kaniyang pamilya.
Walang halaga kung siya ma'y tinitingala sa ka-opisina.
Mas kinikilala ang paggalang sa tahanan kanyang nadarama.

Ang tunay na Cool Dad:
Ay hindi nasusukat sa lakas ng kanyang suntok
Bagkus nakikita sa mapanuyo niyang mga haplos.
Lalong hindi sa tibay ng kanyang dibdib.
Lakas ay naaaninag sa pusong tinitibok ay pag-ibig.

Ang tunay na Cool Dad:
Ay hindi sinusukat sa kung gaano ang kaya nyang buhatin
Bagkus sa mga kabigatang handa nyang pasanin.
At lalong hindi sa dami ng babaeng kanya ay nahumaling.
Isa lang ang sukatan, pag-ibig na wagas sa asawa'y ibabaling...

Ikaw ba ito?
Kung hindi...
Nag-iisa pa rin ako.
Happy Father's Day po.

    I like this! It defines a cool dad like you. I know every father is different but I hope that I'll be as cool as you when I become a dad.

    Thanks for this entry! :D
