Only A Dad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHII JJKKLL

Only a dad with a tired faceA
Coming home from the daily raceA
Bringing little of gold or fameB
To show how well he has played the gameB
But glad in his heart that his own rejoiceC
To see him come and to hear his voiceC
-
Only a dad with a brood of fourD
One of ten million men or moreD
Plodding along in the daily strifeE
Bearing the whips and the scorns of lifeE
With never a whimper of pain or hateF
For the sake of those who at home awaitF
-
Only a dad neither rich nor proudG
Merely one of the surging crowdG
Toiling striving from day to dayH
Facing whatever may come his wayH
Silent whenever the harsh condemnI
And bearing it all for the love of themI
-
Only a dad but he gives his allJ
To smooth the way for his children smallJ
Doing with courage stern and grimK
The deeds that his father did for himK
This is the line that for him I penL
Only a dad but the best of menL
