Father's Day

Fatherly advice you would bestow
Ambiguous though it would be at times
Tactful ways you would employ
Heart-to-heart we’d have discussions
Emotional sometimes they’d be
Rational mostly, the fruit of humble simplicity
Seeds of wisdom scattered to the winds

Daddy's little girl, still after all these years
Appreciating my role model throughout life’s lessons
Youth forever in my heart ~ Happy Father’s Day!
