Father’s Day makes me think of the many children in the world who have no Father figure in their lives.
Be it through loss, separation or abandonment. It also reminds me how fortunate I was to have my Fathers influence in my life until I was 28 years old.
This poem is in his memory.

What Makes a Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it ... Dad
