Fathers Can Be Solitary Mountains

Music: In Nomine.
By Richard Allwood. Sequenced by David Cooke.

Fathers can be solitary mountains,
All their love rock-like, steep, and strong.
Though warm and caring, somehow they belong
Halfway home to mothers' bubbling fountains.
Each of us needs love that knows no quarter,
Reminding us of bonds that cross a border,
Strengthening our sense of right and wrong.
