Happy Father's Day!

Let's take it as a foregone conclusion that I wish
I had sent this post out yesterday,
And yet, as with so many other 'Days' set aside...
I refuse to believe there is only ONE day to celebrate
Such an enormous thing as Peace or Health or Parents.

*******

Without further ado, then...
Here's to one half of the unit/unity that makes up
The hardest and most important job I can imagine:
That of molding and nurturing a fellow human being.

So much power, so much influence.
I am the person I am because of those people,
Those parental units, for better and worse.
That father, in particular, on this,
What I now declare to be The next Happy Father's Day,
Otherwise known as The Next Day.

Thank you to all the fathers,
Ones who help us enter the world
Be practical and use reason,
To have confidence and humor

Of course Mothers are sometimes Fathers
And the other way round.

It's as arbitrary as the borders
Drawn of certain disputed nations...
Somewhat meaningless, but often
Patterned surprisingly the same archetypal way.

Anyway: thanks! keep up the good challenge!
It's worth it. You're worth it.
Gratitude is never-ending.
