Fathers have a special bond
reach to children one after one,
sons and daughters are soon raised
grown to adults, we are oft amazed

tis delight to see fine values passed
comes a moment we wished would...last
the music of raport between generations
spread on the cake of social elation

Music falters when souls pass from view
but nights soon pass,followed by morning dew;
we wish that good times would last
that the music continue.

I remember your poem about your daughter
she must have had a wonderful father;
you witnessed delight in raising her
the road we travel is lined with spurs.

to daughters there is a special bond
fathers want children to stand up strong
difficult times arise and so must we
keep courage and rest in harmony.

Keep fond thoughts of her as she would like
let a mental candle shine into nights
let her memory continue to inspire,
of fathers and their daughters.

Beautifully penned Martin.
It is a pleasure to call you friend.
You have found the words where I couldn't.

Larry,

no need to thank, being an uncle helps me see how a father thinks and feels

You be well.

Sandra,

Looks like you find thoughtful words

Nancy,

glad you understand me,am not looking for any pat on the back, I am not a father but have been losing dear relatives and friends too along the way...let's you understand this mystery.

I love the idea of the mental candle, Martin.
Tomorrow is the 3rd annivrsary of my first husband's death and I am going to light a mental candle for him.
This is a beautiful poem, you wrote for Larry.

Lyra,

my condolences for your loss too, we all lose
and gain in the same time I think.

Martie and Dave

thanks for sharing

Diamond,

these are painful thoughts, but sometimes one must put them down.
