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 is celebrated on June 17th.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A Father’s Day poem about the need for faith in raising
children:
Fathers must have faith in what they do,
As long as what they do proceeds from love.
The thousand thousand gifts of self accrue,
Held for years in bonds they know not of.
Even discipline, if not in anger,
Reasonable, not stubborn, patient, wise,
‘Mid rebellions resolute for order,
Succeeds at last in children’s later lives.
Deeds are bricks with which one builds a home,
A dwelling of the heart, though kids may roam,
Yielding more love than one might surmise.
