Fortune's a Chameleon, Changing Shade

June 13, 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 advising a father to appreciate his good fortune.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Fortune’s a chameleon, changing shade
As one embraces, or does not, one’s fate.
Ties that bind one to an ordered life –
Having children with a loving wife –
Endure, though passions pale and friendships fade.
Remember, then, to hug the life you made,
Singing, singing as you celebrate.
