Fathers Day

Father's Day is here again,
And with it comes the yearly pain.
The kind of pain not all will feel,
But pain they say that time will heal.

How much pain no one can say,
A month, a year, or many a day.
But time alone is all it takes,
To ease the pain that sadness makes.

If your dad's no longer here,
Just spare a thought, don't shed a tear,
But look above and softly say,
Love you dad on this .. Your day.

'For all dads no longer here'
