Poetry Sunday ~ Happy Father's Day

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
***

Fathers day is the day
we thank our fathers for
all that he has done
all the battles won.
Our fathers can do no more.

On this day I’m grateful
for all he’s done for me
the lil girl he raised
given brighter days,
has always set me free.

It is my father I thank
for loving me these years.
not just a part
but all of my heart
He’s dried the lonely tears.

I cherish my father tis true
a pillar of strength I know.
he’s relayed this to me
I accept it gladly.
to him my love I bestow!



A father is always making his baby into a little woman. And when she is a woman he turns her back again. ~Enid Bagnold
