Blessings to all the fathers
We love and honor you!
Straining at these weathered oars,
A stormy day, its troubles pour
Out waves of worry that drizzle down
Like rain descending without sound.
My soul finds shelter at a meal
An unexpected friend appears.
We manage jokes and laugh and ponder
Life's delicate moments. This is my father.
Laughing. I did not expect it.
Once my feelings so dejected
Now rising like a soaking wick,
His older strength my soul collects.
Two old friends. Like school boys running
Others turn, and watch us wondering
Why we laugh and talk with passion.
This is my friend, my father. Laughing.
