Forget the Fantasies of Fatherhood

June 14, 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 a divorced father who does not have custody of his child.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Forget the fantasies of fatherhood
And take a look at what your life has wrought.
The choices you have made, both good and bad,
Have added up to … Well, you can add.
Enduring love will bring what you have sought,
Regardless of the pain the years have brought,
Sustaining what can only end in good.
