Father's Day

...is always June 4th for me...

You don’t need a tie,

or a pair of warm slippers,

or a gift card for someplace to eat

 

So my gift to the star

that bears your eye’s sparkle

is to live so my life is complete

Author's Note

Thinking about my Dad today... That's him in the pic. :)

Well, you know I think of my Dad all the time - I don't even want to think about losing my mother and siblings... just gotta cherish, and love the memories... Thanks so much, Quin.

You inspire me to write about my father. It was a good write, it is always nice when one has a father worth writing a poem about since the role of fathers has been deteriorating over the years. I think your dad would love this.

Thank you, Rocans. I realize more each day how lucky I am to have had my father.
