Happy Father's Day,
to all the Dads At The Den.


~~~~~~*~~~~~~
Alone and naked
I entered this world
No pockets, to hide money
Let alone, a taste of honey.
~~*~~
Screaming, my head off, Hungry
I knew not why?
Until, I was given a breast
Unaware, of what it was
Happy I became, at my best.
~~*~~
I remember not, growing pains
Except for those, when I did wrong
My Dad whould discipline me
My Mother would hum me a song.
~~*~~
Dad
Would hold, my hand firmly
Making sure, from him, I did not run
While on our way, to the park
To have a little fun.
~~*~~
I, to chase
Squirrels and sparrows
Dad
To fish and relax
Clearing his mind, for a better tomorrow.
~~*~~
Never I dared, to leave his sight
He taught me
Never to near strangers
And other facts of life.
~~*~~
He showed me,
How to bait a hook
With wiggly worms
Yuk! I couldn't even look.
~~*~~
Dad
Worked hard, till his dying day
One day he left, to work
And there he stayed
His friends surrounded Him
As they all prayed.
~~*~~
Now he is gone
After raising seven
His presence, is still felt
Even while in heaven.
~~~~~~*~~~~~~

I think your Dad did a really good job raising you and would be (IS) proud of you.
May this loving poem come back from your own kids to bite you in your heart.
Blessings,
Diane

He sounds like a wonderful man. Who wouldn't wish for a son to compose as beautiful and as loving a tribute as this. You miss him very much, don't you? Sending you positive vibes today, William. He would be proud to read this.

Excellent tribute to your Father!!
Thanks for reminding me.....lol!!

I made an error on my last post...was suppose to end like this...

The windows is starless…. Still
The clock is ticking…
It’s past midnight
I rest my pen… sleep
