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 about what fathers are
for.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Children need a Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding them high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells them all is right
When they awaken frantic with
The terrors of the night.
Like being the great mountain
That rises in their hearts
And shows them how they might get home
When all else falls apart.
Like giving them the love
That is their sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
They'll always find him there.
