Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is fatherhood, in honor of Father’s Day, which
falls on June 19.
Today’s poem is a Father’s Day poem for fathers who are
separated from their child.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Fathers who must love from far away
Are distanced from their child by more than space.
The child changes almost every day.
How might the father hope, then, to keep pace?
Even so, the deeper bond remains
Regardless of the losses and the gains,
Sight unseen, yet strong and full of grace.
