Father

Father

listen

I assure you thus ..

there never was

a love

so strong as his ..

twas

strong enough

to make

bad men cry

and strong men

weak

and children

follow in his wake ..

while

women lost

themselves

at his sainted feet ..

Nice verse, man. You write this for Father's Day? It's a really moving tribute from a child to see their parent as a hero. I wish all children everywhere could feel equally proud and happy with their heritage. I know I'm proud of my dad, he always was my hero. I liked this a lot.

[Neville]

Thank you kindly sir .. Neville

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

This is really lovely. The words fell soft against my heart, a silent tear slipping down the window of my soul. It made me think of my father, and I but wish that I could have known him. You honor a man that I would have liked to know. Beautiful!

[Neville]

what a lovely thing to suggest Linda .. a truly lovely thing and I thank you for it .. Neville

Its a great tribute to obituary of father, let his mind stay in peace. for the thing, he is quite adorable person for his sensitive nature, he is not that bad as you think, i saw only one interview of his and thought he much better than my dad, for his care for kids and their life, my dad is drunkard, with no responsibilyt for which king has rejected me as he thinks he still of your religion,.....

[Neville]

I think by writes I need to thank thee & wish you a good day .. Neville

[JessyJacob]

But i respect my dad and i love him alot, if i cry my dad couldnt bear, if i ask him anything he will get me whatevre it is. Thats why he is my best father though he drinks i doesnt mind.

[JessyJacob]

Its because of me my sensitivty, as he treats me as a immatured and still kid, though i am big and responsible. But anyway, when dad is so strict, how much he might be caring for her, anyhow, i saw parents are not trusting any one either.. So better going for their choice is good. Its well and good choice for anyone. Once she crossed the marriage, why not now to move on..

[JessyJacob]

Actually my uncles, aunts everyone feels for my cry, and nevr wants me to cry. my mom didnt want me to sit and try for visa, as it got rejected for twice, as i was not listening to get married , i know my responsibilty of my sisters, my dad didnt save much, but mom hit me, scolded me, i didnt listen, i kept on trying for visa, though my dad listened it is fine, he cancelled match, and i got my visa within a year. so, will power plays not a shortcut it may damage parents life, expectancy, so dont take wrong or short cut. be patient enough... this is my suggestion..

[JessyJacob]

hope you got my sincere sister like suggestion..

[JessyJacob]

Even my sister was so patient enough in convincing my parents for her wedding.

[JessyJacob]

One reason i could guess, your parents doesnt trust somehow, any parents would trust their kids 99%, for wha they are, if we misuse their trust they are never going to be nicer to you, rememeber that anyone please here.

[JessyJacob]

I have a very great rich heritage of grand fathers and mothers not much greater than you dear John, but we are middle class, heart is better than, few.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Neville... when Heaven sounds a Trumpet... your words will be sung...
from Steeple Tops of your Father's Gift of Love, gently, Pat

[Neville]

I guess now, I'm stuck with this smile you gave me for the rest of my morning at least .. bless you Pat 💛

[Patricia Wedel]

Reading your poetry is like romancing a Stream that ripples over Rocks as Birds fly vicariously. Enjoy the day. Always, Pat

[Neville]

and back at ya Pat .. N

[Chris Shaw]

You honour your father with this lovely tribute Neville. He must have been a helluva guy. I feel sure his son has inherited many of his attributes. Have a lovely Sunday my friend.

I have just read for the third time and your words are almost a like a prayer. .


Chris

[Neville]

He was Chris .. thank you so very much & truly ..

[John the Baptist]

Sounds to have been quite a man. As much as one hears about men's conflicts with their fathers, something like this is refreshing.

[Neville]

thank you John .. he was indeed quite the man ..
