Just once a year is all
and I render to my father
wishes well small gifts is all
like so many holidays I flee its path

this is one you cannot run from
pervades the hopes decisions comprimises rends
in its reminding quicken the day that I may escape
choices made but you never escape babies children

everywhere each day is fathers day for those of
us not and no time heals nothing merely deepens
the tears of omission what was lost career wife
giving away future for what and pardon ex-wife

as each year passes humbling me in my irreperable
mistakes it sinks, as I just a little futher,
So all you dads with breakfasts tools, ties and this
one day set aside remember every day is Fathers Day

Yes the grass is always greener on the other side
but I count my compositions and words music painting
as my children what else is there in a world void
forever of the crys and laughter which bring life

a smile to all you fathers, as I wrap my dad's present tonight and wonder for the ten thousandth
time what that must be like
cheers to you all and many silly ties

Well written and I appreciate your kind thoughts!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Eye...thank you. You have shown me just how fortunate I truly am, to have known a dad, 24/7, for all of my life.

Sad one, Eye. Someday maybe it will be you receiving the gifts. You never know.
