Fathers Day

Father, I'd hear your whispered voice, "Let's go fishing?" Away, we'd go, always on sunny pleasant days. Together, you and I, hiked down through Heavy tall green sedge and rapid flapping of wings. Early morning towards the pl-ashy Riverbank, on a cloud of silence. There was no Such thing as time, when waiting for fish to take the bait. Dad, the sun rose and went down As you gave us strength. You were and are the Yoke of love that always keeps us together. 5/12/2021 Poetry Contest: A TRIBUTE TO FATHERS Sponsored by: L MILTON HANKINS

I wish I had seen this contest, my father is now my guardian angel but before he left us he was my hero. A wonderful tribute to you father. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
