Father's Day

gray0328

 

you are the man  

who holds the sun  

in your steady hands  

even as shadows stretch  

 

at 87 you still glow  

like the lighthouse you  

have always been guiding  

me through life’s storms  

 

you taught me to respect  

to find truth in silence  

to hold my word sacred  

like the pulse in my veins  

 

you pulled me back  

from the edge of ruin  

saved me from myself  

when I had nowhere left  

 

at 68 I still need you  

like roots need the earth  

your love my foundation  

my rock my endless light

        Superb. I was late in that game and then checkmate came. It's so good to see here that such still exists and thrives.🙏🏻🕊️
