Happy Father's Day!


Poem Artwork

Here's a kiss sweetly given to the reason why I'm livin'

My rock when the world fell apart-the soul that had the biggest heart

A comfort when I skinned my knees
and clumsy teacher of the "birds and bees"

A working man who kept us fed and was the provider of the roof over our head

The one who taught us wrong from right
and scared away bad dreams at night

He made us laugh and carved whistles from wood and it was always understood

He loved us even though he may never have said it-every action showed he meant it

This is the love that never dies-the tender love within your eyes
