Fear Not, for Love Is All Around You

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 17^th.

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

A Father’s Day poem about the love that underlies all close relations:

Fear not, for love is all around you,

All you see and feel, your light and air.

The passion and the joy of it surround you,

However much, or not, you know it’s there.

Even in the darkest of your days,

Raw anger, disappointment, fierce frustration,

‘Mid those whose frailties their love betrays,

Still, love configures every close relation.

Destiny comes dressed at times to kill,

And willing it takes every ounce of will,

Yet love’s the bloom in every obligation.
