Our Fathers
Our fathers
Who are,
Or aren't,
In heaven.
Who are,
Or aren’t,
Here with us
Today.
We remember you,
And love you.
For all that you are,
And all that you were.
For lifting us up on your shoulders and carrying us high.
For teaching us to dance with our feet on yours.
For the smell of your aftershave lingering behind you.
For your voice on the phone, no matter where you were.
For playing catch, chess, cards and cigars.
For holding us tight,
For letting us go.
Our fathers.......
We thank you.
We miss you,
We love you.
Sigh. He was a wonderful father.
