Be a father to the vulnerable
Guide the path of those who need
A lift
A helping hand.
Be a father to those seeking
To find shelter
Who need help to
Understand.
Show the way.
Provide
Kind counsel.
If by biology or presence
Be the best
Model
You can.
For it is by kindness
That fathering
Takes hold
And
Grows children
Strong
In body, heart
And mind.

This poignant poem and sweet photo posted today by a dear friend really does say it all. Happy day to all who read this, father or not! My dad died 32 years ago. He never reached retirement age and the comforting coverage of Medicare as I have. I know he’d be appalled at obscene attempts to remove healthcare benefits from millions now. How I miss him! Happy Father’s Day, Daddy. 😘

Thank you for your gifted writing, Na’ama. This one stuck a chord for me. I know writing it touched yours. I’m guessing the happy munchkin being swung by a loving dad is one of your family!
