Father's Day Is Not Meant Just for Fathers

June 16, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Father’s Day, which falls on June 18.

Today’s poem is a Father’s Day poem for an uncle.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Father's Day is not meant just for fathers.
An uncle, too, can claim his just reward.
The child has a need for loving men,
However they may be akin, and when
Each grows into adulthood, has a word
Required to describe a model other,
Singing just the name to hear the chord.
