Happy Fathers Day

Sitting here this morning
enjoying the suns rays
reflecting upon life again
what a great journey

Through tragedy and victory
and all that's lain between
times and personalities
I've met along the way

There is a fraternity
to which many do belong
some are there willingly
but some just don't belong

Everyday we pay our dues
though the members seldom meet
taking on the challenge
seven days a week

through good times
and sad times too
the challenges we meet
always moving forward
never do we retreat

We give advice
and push the swings
listen to the cries
joyus moments we do live
in our children's eyes

We are there when life begins
though rarely do we sing
praises for the job we do
or the joy it brings

we pass on the knowledge
of how the world works
so the next generation
will not be off worse

we bring strength
we bring wisdom
at least we often try
to teach our children how to play
and even how to ride

I would be remiss
if I didn't mention too
the Mothers role in all of this
to them I say Thank You

There are some Mothers
who are in this club as well
doing the job that is ours
and doing it damn well

So my wish today is simple
for it is our day
reflect upon the job you've done
Happy Fathers Day
