Fathers Poems

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

The Reynolds Library 'Poetry society meeting exercise'

In the small town up the road from the farm where I grew up,
the library was in the town hall,
which was also the fire station,
which was also the jail house,
and later the Plumber’s place.

It was a friendly place.
The Boy Scouts met there.
They had all the Hardy Boys books.
And a hardy lot of boys, but no

A Fathers Sacrafice

At 2 a.m. the engine hums & the road awaits his tread,
A departing message on the front door camera to his wife and two kids, as he slips away in dread.
The house is warm, the night is cold, his heart is torn in two, for love is here, but duty calls, 
"its the career he chose

FATHER CHILDREN FAMILIY

Love really exists
Caring reciprocal love
Father, children, happy family...

Father of the earth, you are beautiful
created in magnificence
graciously gifted by God
to give yourself to your children in love!

Father, exemplary man, strong
husband and royal protector,
crucial support and support...

Gently but attentively,
father warns; daughter, don't play at the table!
"Father, I'm recording, I'm not playing."

Calm, transparent pond...
ducklings learn to swim!
Father duck,

The foxes in my garden

The foxes in my garden
Arrive at night to play
They  had their fill of chicken
And so decide to stay 

I crouch down on my haunches 
And look into her eyes 
The little one so trusting 
She’s like her mother wise 

I see how she has taught them 
To fend well for themselves 
But only Little

A Father’s Lament to Obama

My son,
When the ancestors lit the candle of your destiny,
We sang for you in the wind,
We carved your name into the stars
And called you Moses for your people.

But you—
You danced in marble halls built on bones,
You became fluent in the language of betrayal.
They did not give you power—
They gave you a costume,
A borrowed mask with

Like The Ones My Father Grew

It was a summer of living next to my father. He turned every ordinary day into pure laughter with his Italian antics and beautiful smile.  When it came to gardening he had the magic touch.
He would plant morning glories and each morning he would water them with caring hands. 
I would get up early

Zero. 
I imagine you watched,
With awe and wonder
At the image on the screen,
My movements 
In black and white,
As the sonographer moved the wand,
Up and down
The belly of my mother,
Showing you 
Mystery and excitement,
The next chapter 
Of your lives.

One.
You gave me ice cream
When you

Were
Not
Supposed
To,
And I think a bond formed.
Mischief by mouthfuls,
We were already unstoppable.

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

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

My 46th Father's Day

  
      On my 46th Father’s Day 
        I’d finally have my say

      For I’d heard the pleasantries before
        they all seemed like cliches

My Dad So Grand

My Dad! My Dad with hands so grand
whether shapely straight as a clarinet
or conical as a saxaphone. He blows

through a woody-reed, his tongue
not lashing at us, but conditioned
to musically relay his love for us.

My Dad! My Dad with hands so grand.
They put together a Hammond organ.
His feet so cheerfully press the pedals,

his fingers twinkle across

YOU WILL KNOW YOUR DAD

You will know your dad 
when you too became a dad!

You shall feel glad
when you realize, he was your launch pad!

You will appreciate his wisdom 
when you shoulder responsibilities of the kingdom!

You will realize his care
when he was dissolved into the air!

You will dearly miss him
when alone, against the tides of life, you swim!

You shall

Happy Father's Day From A Grateful Dad

To each of my children please know I love you.
If you weren't my children, I don't know what I'd do.
As babies and infants you brought me so much joy.
Playing make believe with me as we played with your toys.
Though I must admit changing diapers weren't my style.
But you each got me through it with your

Happy Father's Day God

Thank you for each of my children and my wonderful wife.
Thank you for their mothers through whom you gave life.
No matter what any of us think about You.
You honor your word and your love is so true!
I'm ashamed when I doubt that you'll come through.
But you always do and God I'm so grateful to you.
