Father’s Day 6-16-2024

Father’s Day
6/16/2024
Miracle Man

Fatherhood is much more
than planting a seed,
An occasional visit
or some meaningless deed.

Many men can be fathers
while only in name,
Far fewer become DADS
an everlasting shame.

Memories of some fathers
are interred so deep,
That only on Fathers Day
 do they ever creep.

Today, I reflect on my father’s life
happy for the course I’ve taken.
Thankful He gave me life and name,
but my day won’t pass unshaken.

I hope today is a happy day
but too many will find it sad.
Resurrecting memories of a father
who never became a DAD.

Happy Father’s Day!
