Missing In Action

Father's Day is melancholy for many folks,
Some are misty because of long separations,
others are sad because of premature terminations,
Mourning fathers who have died serving this country or presumed
missing in action, leaving families in conditions of bewilderment 
not able to get any satisfaction,
On Father's Day we are all haunted by the memories that heralded
happy times, and although life and circumstances may change,
We feel blessed that a father's involvement made all the difference.
