On the fatherhood

It's difficult to define a father precisely
So, let's imagine how a father would be
A father may be figuratively similar to these:
A starting point, a fulcrum, a roof, a piece of land
A mountain, a sky, a star, a beam of sunshine
A lamp, a mirror, a book, a guide,a set of minds, 
...
I reckon a father can be similar to each of them 
if he is viewed from different perspectives
However,  fatherhood will not be fairly defined 
If  all the pieces above aren't yet combined ?


An amazing family

In a world that spins both fast and wide,
There’s one sweet place where hearts abide.
Not built of brick, nor stone, nor gold—
But love and laughter, strong and bold.

A family, stitched with threads so tight,
That even storms can't dim their light.
With arms that hug, and eyes that see
The best in you, and let you be.

They fight and fuss, then laugh again,
Like summer sun after the rain.
Through highs and lows, they're always near,
A gentle voice, a listening ear.

Each member shines in their own way,
A galaxy that lights your day.
From silly jokes to quiet care,
Their magic lingers everywhere.

So here’s to love without condition,
To endless joy and shared ambition.
For nothing beats, across life’s sea,
The bond we call our family. ????

Happy Father's Day

To the man who stood so tall,
Who picked me up with every fall.
In life’s loud storm or silent pain,
You stood like shelter in the rain.

When nights were long, and hopes ran low,
You still believed and let it show.
You taught me how to fight, to stand,
To build my dreams with steady hand.

Behind your silence was endless care,
A love so deep, always there.
You gave up joys, ignored your need,
To see us smile, to help us succeed.

You worked in pain, you hid your fear,
And never let it interfere.
Each drop of sweat, each sleepless night,
You faced it all without respite.

You never asked for much or more,
Still gave us all you had in store.
You are the reason we can shine,
Your sacrifices shaped this life of mine.

Today I say what I feel each day,
But don’t always find the words to say:
You are my first love, my forever pride,
The one who’s always by my side.

I love you more than I can show,
More than you’ll ever truly know.
In every win, in every part,
You live within my grateful heart.

So here’s my soul, poured out today,
To thank you, Dad, in every way.
I pray for you in each life’s test,
May God grant you peace, love, and rest.

MY FATHER'S DAY LOVE

Father's Day is coming.
And I know all my sadness will be forthcoming
My children are my family
And in my life, I learned
From the best father
My father always asked me what I was thinking
And they were always there to listen
My father was strong
And help me teach me what is right and wrong
He was always there for my bad days
And when I also triumph
I learned a lot from the love he shared
With each passing day, he will always
Be a big part of my life
It was hard when you left
When you left I just wanted to say one last goodbye
I always wish my love was strong enough
So you would never have died
There is nothing in my life that
Would ever change that I love you dearly
My heart has one section that
Is meant just for you
My heart broke when I lost you
But I know part of my heart
Went to heaven with you
So on this Father's Day, I want you
To know I love you and miss you

Premium MemberHe stares back at me

I dreamt last night of my father.
He played on roller-skates, with
grandchildren, more likely great grandchildren,
yet to be born.

It was a family get together,
perhaps his birthday, or 
Father’s Day, coming four days from now.
He wore his famous big smile.
The one that makes everyone smile back.

The children screamed with excitement
and he laughed joyfully with them.
Though older, he was not fragile,
but had the vigor of his youth.
Like in the picture that stares back at me.

Family, friends and coworkers always
spoke highly of him.
Their comments and praise made me
proud to be his son.
I hope that he knew and felt that.

A farm boy from a small town,
not rich or famous, but kind and generous.
He never met a stranger, nor  
refuse someone in need.
His work ethic that was matched by few.

I wish I knew the reason / meaning of the dream.
I think about my children, and grandchildren,
wonder how they will think of me?
My hope would be, similar to mine of the man
in the picture, that stares back at me.


Father's Day Gift

Don't look for a gift
On Father's Day, it's enough
You have wife and kids.

Premium MemberDad

Man of steel.
Don’t you know?
The real deal!

He’ll never go.
And always stay.
His help bestow.

Need not dismay.
Dauntless, he will
noble heroics display!

Pops

D•isciplinarian and teacher extraordinaire 
A man after God's own heart who is strict but fair
D•idn't go to college but he has a shed load of knowledge 
D•oesn't have millions in the bank but he's far from financial 
     bondage
Y•es, this gentleman whom I speak so highly of is also
     stylish and debonair

Virtues

The only fear of leaving that day was the family I left behind
When I described you to the angels, I think of the colors of beautiful rose petals and the virtues that lie within. 

I couldn’t choose just one color,  So I found one very beautiful, one so very unique, so, I chose this color to send to you, for it makes yours virtues complete

The red is for all the love that our family could hold within

The green rose, a symbol of abundance, peace, and stability

The white rose, defined by it’s reverence, and everlasting love

The cream colored rose, a representation of perfection and richness. 

I chose this Teal Colored rose with petals undefined , the angels spoke to me softly and said I should make it mine
The virtues of the roses, that all my family holds
Now live within the petals of this beautiful Teal colored rose

May You Know That You Are Valued

Inspired by a moving storyline in a show. 

May you know that you are valued 
By Michelle Morris
15/06/2023

I wanted to pass on something
From my childhood memories
But all that I had left
Was sad feelings and broken dreams 

Everything that I loved
Was destroyed or tossed away
Burned bridges and toys
Scorched emotions and betrayal

So, what do I have to give you?
What legacy do I pass on today?
How to be a better man?
When I'm still learning this with age?

I hope that you will feel
That you are truly loved and understood
That you'll be inspired and uplifted
By everything I say and do

For having hopes and dreams
Feeling loved and cared about
Having a place to call home
Is precious without a doubt

May you look back with joy
Feelings of warmth and happiness
May you know that you are valued
For being your own true self

Someday

When I grow up, 
I want to be... like my father. 
He serves in the military, 
and helps other people 
around the world. 
He fights for the innocent. 
He lives in the Light. 
He is a good man. 
When I grow up. 

When I grow up, 
I want to be... like my mom. 
She is a nurse at a hospital. 
She helps people that are sick, 
get better. 
She is a warrior. 
She is a soldier, 
in the army of God. 
When I grow up. 

When I grow up, 
I want to be... 
everything that I can be, 
so that my mom, 
and my dad, 
will be proud. 
I want them to know 
that they did a good job, 
and gave me hard lessons, 
that I learned from, 
and still made me feel 
loved and cared for. 
When I grow up.

Premium MemberA Father's Day Prayer

Though tempest's foaming deep swells far from land 
and restless waves should buffet his small boat,
the Captain at the wheel with steady hand 
trusts Providence to keep the crew afloat.
A Shepherd finds green pastures for his flock 
protecting them that they may safely dwell 
and carries injured lambs who cannot walk 
to nurture them with love until they're well.
Preparing lesson plans and lecturing,
the Teacher answers questions patiently -
delighting in the joy knowledge can bring,
imparting light for growing eyes to see.
Lord, please grant wisdom, strength, and grace to me
to captain, shepherd, teach my family.

Happy Father's Day

Hark

The captain spoke to the sick and starving
As he bobbled on the bow
And began
We will go there
Pointing his crooked finger as his dark, salty body dropped 
But with each upsurge he made another point
You are here because you got lost
I'm here to take you home
Down surge
I'm not sure we will make it
Upsurge
But you have strong oars made of Spanish mahogany one at a time
Down surge
Some of you are weaker and will think of dying
Upsurge
Others will pick you up because you are worthy of love
Down surge
Your stomachs are full of toxic blubber meat
Upsurge
You will endure for the purpose of Her
hug at port, wet and tired and lost
Down surge
You will not endure if you are proud
Upsurge
Down surge
And just his eyes. 
Only sounds of orphaned oars and flapping sails and rusty rudders. 

Two whales appear, each pick a side. 
Guiding, with twin wakes, and moving the boys toward there
Upsurge
Down surge
The whales were moving them there. 
Screaming to their distant loved ones
I'll be home soon

Premium MemberFathers Day

Filled with kindness 
Always gentle and loving
True to his children
Hopeful they will always 
Earn respect and be wise
Rejoicing in what is good
Showing others compassion

Dreaming good dreams
And giving his whole heart
Yearning to please a heavenly Father!

My Hero

A hero is a person who 'encourages', 
That 'hero' is my beacon light; 
Everyone has a her, say it fictional or a non-fictional one, 
I've one who's non-fictional one, and I call him 'Daddy'! 

He cares for me, 
Not as a normal child, But as a Precious 'Piece of Diamond' he preserves me as.
He doesn't make me wait, for anything; 
He gets me 'World in a Silver Plate'! 

Makes me Laugh, When Life is Tough, 
Sits with me, as a 'Gossip Buff'.
Takes me to a tour, my handsome 'doer', 
He's my legendry peer.
Words, of Kindness are here, 
He's my always 'Near and Dear'.
