How Lucky to Have Had So Good a Father

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 will be celebrated tomorrow, June 17^th.

A Father’s Day poem for a deceased father:

How lucky to have had so good a father!

On us his warm, unstinting sun long shone.

We were, of his hardworking life, the center,

Loved for the pure joy of love alone.

Uncanny are the requisites of pleasure,

Coming as they do within the will.

Knowing well where lay his greatest treasure,

Years on years of love he labored still.
