Fathers and Daughters Have a Romance

June 12, 2019

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 this year will be celebrated on June 16.

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

A Father’s Day poem about the depth of the bond between fathers and daughters:

Fathers and daughters have a romance

That goes on for the rest of their lives,

Destined to ripen and age as they dance

Through the days of their husbands and wives.

Up near the surface their love is distinct,

Like a garden surveyed in the sun,

In which seedtime and full bloom are credibly linked

By a consciousness shared and hard won.

Deep down below, where the world is a dream,

And the dream is a world of its own,

All manner of memories the moments redeem

In a place where one's never alone.
