I am glad you enjoyed it, Steven. We never forget those who have gone before us. Hopefully, this is a tradition that we will pass on to the next generation. Our fathers did a lot for us. It is a shame that we don’t honor them more than just one day. Mine has passed also, as you probably already know, I have two separate memories of him. One with my mother and then when he remarried my stepmother. My father had money and she couldn’t stand having me around. She wanted it all for her own children. So at the age of 17, she threw me out of the house by lying on me. My father didn’t say a word just went along with her. When he passed, I cried but I did not wept for the man he had become but for the man he once was. I try to hold on to those memories of him and my mother. I honor that part of him. Boy, no wonder, you know so much about me. You are just very easy to talk to and I am very glad you are part of our family.
Again, I am glad you enjoyed the poem.
Have a very blessed & beautiful Summer Solstice,
