(For Doug Eidt – A Great Father)
You led your sons from boys to men
Albeit firmly now and then!
Five little boys who tested your will
In them great patience you did instil!
You nurtured your sons in every way
Knowing they’d do the same one day!
For sons in a father’s image grow
When unconditional love they know!
You readied them with useful tools,
Things they’d never learn in school!
Like how to live in harmony
With every rock and flower and tree!
You guided them with a watchful eye
And they blossomed as the years slipped by!
Then one by one they left the nest
Putting all they learned from you to the test!
The man you are is easy to see
In the men your sons turned out to be!
You’ve earned that look of pride on your face
For you’ve made the world a better place!

Thank you, Dick.
PS: I’d love it if you would connect the dots from that photo to the poem.
The last line encompasses all.
