Step Printed A hobnailed boot or socked toes carpenter’s cleave of muscled know High flown creed or salt of ground …these are the men fathers, renown… Manicured nails or crusted quick justice reigns in moments thick; golf club curl or surgeon’s hand some sons care for mothers grand… all the stages of a boy from his childhood through his toys most may be a father, true all came from a boy, like you. Footsteps given some were followed; hard times driven, anger, swallowed… For a moment, sit back, enjoy… age given memories to a grown-up boy. To my Sons-in-Law and my husband, and the Male Poets of Passions…. Happy Father’s Day, Men. " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

That's nice. It's hard to conceive that our Dad's, who always seemed larger than life, were little boys once. Wonderful thoughts and good wishes. |

Sissie....all those men came from fathers of such diversity, becoming fathers perhaps, or poets it's true...a good way to remember is this poem from you!  |

Thank you for those most warming thoughts, Karilea. As I reflect on a recent new grandson, watching my son as a new dad, all the things dads do or try to do comes back to me. There are a couple of regretful thoughts, but most are good. Hugs, Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

"For a moment, sit back, enjoy… age given memories to a grown-up boy." Could it be any different than this, exactly as you have written? Very true! Thanks Sunshine. JL  |
