Father's Day
Folder:
Seasonal Holidays:
Father's Day is here again this year;
I would like to nominate my son Leighton,
As the best father in the world.
Kind, considerate and loving are some of his gifts,
Even a fledgling not his he has taken under wing.
And brought happiness love and security.
Both sons admire him for finding time to be there:
For sports day, christmas play, and go-getting week-ends.
In times of stress Leighton has been there and talked to his son Mike;
out of many a dilema caused by Asperger's syndrome particularly, sensory overload.
The right lights and muted sounds and time to take stock and calm down:
won't be forgot either.
Looking after my grandsons and being a loving and caring father to them is the best
he could be.

I did not know you until I read the news
flash on a fatherhood practiced with a deftness
and desire to be kind. You are one cause
for hearts being a part of the definition of love.
Time given is time as a stage upon which your sons
rove as if captured by your timeline.
.
Father's have a special day and it belongs
to dads each year, but for you
there is a day each twenty-four hours
full of love for being there, a presence
missed by far too many daughters
and sons. Thank you for the entireness
of years.
.
The human inside impacts humans
reaching for adult states and you are there
providing warmth and cheerings on
for the most special two in your life.
When you are old and can barely rise
or see far, and you will have talked
enough, in your still hazed silence
you will be greeted with gifts of hugs
and smiles, news flashes from two lives,
attended by cards and gifts from two men
who became men because of you.
