Father's Day comes but twice a year,
Or close to that amount.
Give him a can or two of beer 
Or perhaps a higher count.

My dad always carried a flask
But he never once wore a mask
If he were alive
I know he'd contrive
A way to walk off with a cask!

I join all father’s on this and every Father’s day
hoping that we….
will always try to be 
as extraordinary
as our children imagine us to be.

Papa

Pillar of the home, backbone and strength
Astride, sitting on mama's needs
Providing, caring for the kids
Always working, caring less for rest.

Father's Day

If someone are talking about
your mom,
sharing memories
who wouldn't cry?

If someone are talking about
your dad,
sharing works
Who looking up?

Father's Day 2018

My dad was renown as a cad
Which made my love life rather sad
Would I know when I kissed her
That she was my sister?
If not, he would be a grand dad!

It was Father's Day Sunday ~
We knew it might be his last.
Still the phone never rang.
Did our best to hide the hurt.

Slow Down

Slow down and remain
eight years old and all squirmy
footie pajamas and dolls

glitter on tables
tea parties and teddy bears
and you weren't always busy.

hold me up high 
over your head
farther and father 
and spin me

Golf Day This Dad

You drove the ball high
It flew and touched the sky
I heard, “FORE!"
And ducked therefore
But the ball hit my thigh


Some of the things mom never knew happened;-)

Premium Member I Never Bought Cufflinks For My Father

I never bought cuff links for my father
     never knew him really
I saw him at Christmas and birthdays
     for a few years early on
That ended
Father’s day, a strange, empty holiday

Happy Happy

Happy Father's Day
let no one question, ask why -
you nod in your chair

every wrinkle earned
With all your blood, sweat and tears -
each silver strand shines

Happy Father's Day, guys!

Mom And Dad Memories Last

Missing my Parents
Both are gone
Jesus is with me
I am never alone.

Rest my dear Parents
You've done your best
Remembrance in memories
Centuries, Decades, through Destiny
All the rest.

Premium Member I Loved You

I Loved You

Falling in love is wonderful.
Staying in love impossible.
Romance we followed a dance
we end up forever in a trance.
Happy Father's day, dear dad.
You left. We're bitter not mad.

Little Gifts

Rubbing sleepy eyes,
Children smiling on my bed,
Father’s Day blessings.
