Remembering Our Fathers

From a unique source they came,

They came by boat floating on rivers,

They are seeds and deeds fed many,

Their persperation and silent battles

Strengthen their resolve to protect. 

These are brave men we acknowledge,
These are men special at what they do,
They are special in the choices they made,
They are bold in being the fortress of our homes,
Their unique presence in our growth is a blessing.

Though some joined the ancestry route,

Certain currents chased the shadows of some. 

Whether they are here or there, their thoughts and voices are intered in our hearts.

Our Father's loved unconditionally,
Our Dad's are kind and considerate too,
Our Papa's makes us happy with their humour.
Some Fathers scared the stubbornness in our coats and clothes our vulnerability with tenderness.

Though they have their share of ups and downs,
They are determined to hold us together.
They go to every length to provide for our needs.
This is because their family is important to them.

What would we do without our Fathers?

How well could we live without our Dads?
Where would we be without their love and care?

For the different things we learned from them;
For the many sacrifices they made for our sake;
For the many sleepless nights, they had just to ensure we had something to eat, we thank our Fathers.

We are thankful to our Fathers,
We appreciate their continued strive,
We celebrate our dear Fathers.
Happy Father's Day
