Father's Day

"If I said the word, “day”, Nothing special you would say 24 hours that we keep, Just one of seven that make our week But if you look deep inside, That’s where dreams reside And opportunities, and a wish, Memories of those we miss If we dress up the day with a word before, It becomes something special we can’t ignore A reason for celebration, Or sincere contemplation Of its joy or sorrow, Commemorating today and not tomorrow Or someone or something, Well worth honoring So when I say Fathers Day, Thoughts and emotions are at play Remembering fathers and dad’s, And the impact they had On you good or bad, For not all are perfect, it’s sad The first time to go fishing, Or to receive the bike you were wishing The horse rides on their backs, Or providing the answer when in need of a fact The patience they displayed, Baking the cake that you made All those moments now, that come to mind, Special to you, your personal gold mine For the memories you hold, Are gifts of love to behold Nurtured from that moment in time, Just you and your dad, sublime
