Those who plant seed
In every fertile hole
Then run at high speed
Oblivious of hurt soul,
Today is not your day.
Those men out there
Who daily come home drunk
Before your children you swear
That life truly f-ck,
Today is not your day.
Those men who gamble
From dawn to dusk
Your home about to crumble
'Where is daddy, ' the children ask
Today is not your day.
Who is a father?
Anyone who take
Parenting responsibilities further
For societies' sake.
And today is your dayI

It quite easy to be a father, but to be a dad takes much more. An insightful poem elegantly brought forth in commemoration of father's day. Lovely piece nicely penned in good rhyme scheme with conviction. Thanks for sharing.
