Father's Day 2018
Hark ya! Father’s day comes again
Growing years made my interest wane
My task is only to watch and see
What plans my children make for me
A “c’est délicieux” breakfast to begin
Followed by the family going for a spin
To a scenic place with gardens and trees
Cacophony of birds and humming bees
Feast the beauty of nature in all its glory
Reflect on the past that reveal the story
How the climate has changed for the worse
Aimless industrialization has been a curse
I retrospect sadly my days of yore
The nature we loved and taught to adore
The barren fields today and polluted air
Remind us of what we lost by failing to care
In the nursery of mind thoughts grow
Blossom into words which deeds bestow
Nature existed before earthly life began
Child had always been the father of man
