Dad’s the man
always there
Ever standing ready
showing care
Quick to guide
dependable hand
Child’s foundation
steadfast land
Life’s large challenge
letting go
Steps moving back
offspring’s show
Through each season
learning silence
Feet forward plod
growing distance
Awaken the dawn
era gone
Journey has ceased
passed on
Close the eyes
mind sees
Father’s arms outstretched
bended knees
--Nancy Kourmoulis

The year has been reclusive as I have just been seeking the Lord and sharing tidbits. Today I quietly reopen the comments section for a while. Thanks for stopping by, listening, and perhaps sharing a word. In Him, mom2six.treasures
