FATHER’S DAY
It is Sunday morning here is Australia, not Father’s Day here either (September) but I thought it appropriate to honor all the fathers who celebrate this day around the world. For most dads it will probably come and go again with a card, a phone call or a gift…I have to admit that I did the same thing for many years. My Father’s not here anymore, on this day I can’t phone him…I can’t talk to him anymore…I can’t wish him a HappyFather’s day. We should not wait for a special day to tell our Father’s we love them, for a Father means so many things:-
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it … Dad.
♥ HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL MY READERS ♥

Sorry that you could not communicate with your father…
but,
you are doing beautifully,
which is a blessing!
Re: in general, you need not to do nomination..only when you win the perfect poet award, then you nominate one poet…
thank you.

Thank you…Truer words could not be expressed.
Every moment used wisely becomes a gem added to the memory chest…priceless treasures to hold dear to the heart…for us to gain strength and wisdom at their recall.
Your inspiring words will have me consciously plucking a such a moment from the garden of memories I will have made today while spending time with my dad.
