I got an email for Father's Day specials from On Your 6 Designs. In the email was this wonderful piece of writing:

Ode To My Child

I don't carry because its cool.
I don't carry to Impress you.
I don't carry to feel good about myself or to boost my mood.
I don't carry to be unique or because I somehow think I'm weak.

I carry for one reason and one reason alone.
I was put on this planet to guard your life.
To protect you from turmoil and strife.
And although I pray the need will never arise, I will carry every day, and you are the reason why.
