To All The Fathers’

Mark and I and my son Donald Benjamin

To All The Fathers’

Near and far

The Cooks

Teachers

Policemen

Firefighters

Construction workers

Crop pickers

Gardeners

Etcetera

You know who you are

Before your last guttural gasp

Trip to the cosmic stars

Take a deep breath
Enjoy your stay

Rest and relax
Your worries away

May your earnest lessons
Be yet not lost in the summer breeze

May your most sincerest acts of kindness

Humor

Empathy

Integrity

Solidarity

Spirituality

Common decency

And tender most sweet love!

Toil on inescapably!

Sewn into the rich fabric

Of your family

And community

Society

Happy Father’s Day to All!
