A Special
Father
From the moment
of his birth
He certainly played his part
Taking
over weekend feedings
Right from the
very start.
He has changed
more diapers
Than any father
I have known.
At night he
rocked his son to sleep
As a ritual with
nary a groan.
Many fathers go
to work
And come home
and relax.
This father
takes over the care
And takes up
some of the slack.
Now that
his son is a little older
He takes him
on weekend walks
To zoos, lakes
and special places
So they
have time together and talk.
As his son
travels the road of life
He will hold
close the memories there
His journey will
be easier
Because
of things they often shared.
Their
bond will forever remain.
He is a father
who compares to none.
I am proud
of the man he has become
Happy Father's
Day, my son.
