Happy
Father's Day to my dear Dad! As you have loved me, so have I loved
you, Pleased to tell you, now that words are
due, Pleased to have this chance to make you
glad. Your years of love and sacrifice have
had For me the force that you would wish them
to, A wind that takes me home to harbors
new, The inner voice in clothes familiar
clad. How might I be myself, except I see Each gesture in the mirror of your
grace, Remembered as it was when long ago, 'Ere I knew why, I looked to you for
love? So am I of you inextricably, Defined by trends not difficult to
trace As I grow into someone that I know, Yet myself in ways that time will
prove.
