Fathers' Day 2023
My father is gone but my husband’s around,
As well as my kids and the grands,
So we made up a plan we’d link up for the day
As the calendar kind of demands.
Just some time in the house to spend shooting the breeze,
Catching up with a book and some songs,
Then a trip to the playground for running around
All together, as family belongs.
Who needs presents or barbecue, flowers or beer
To mark what is a made-up event?
For an afternoon joined with the ones that you love
Is the way Fathers’ Day should be spent.
