It's Father's Day today
Not quite like yesterday
The silent enemy
Forcing us to be friends
It's day for fathers to share
Experience from wisdom
Sons and daughters to listen
Just sit and really listen
It's Father's Day like none other
Time for us to come together
To toast to small victories
Forget forgive the losses
It's Father's Day pray
Dogs playing with cats
Wolves not preying on sheep
Angels not in harm's way
A beautiful special write on Father's Day.....interesting to read
And I see that you've read it a 2nd time in the span of 1 month. I greatly appreciate that, Indira!
Dear Poets: You have all overwhelmed me with joy with your very positive responses. I'm not certain where they all came from. They weren't always there. Sincerest thx to all of you!
Superb write on Father's Day but with a twist on the damaged relationship too... my appreciations
Indira, it makes me happy that you've enjoyed this poem so much. Many thanks!
I missed out reading this gem for two long years. Yes,2020 changed our outlook on llife. And sure, "dogs playing with cats and wolves stopped preying on deer"… marvellous poem!
And in those 2 long years, I somehow missed all the poets' comments. My sincerest apologies to you and all the other poets. It's always an honour for me to have my poetry read by you and the other esteemed poets!

Definitely not your normal greeting card Father's Day poem. I like the gritty reality and the beautiful plea to forgive and move on- life is too short to relive the same day or days over and over and over until the grudges of the past swallows any promise of a better and different tomorrow. Excellent write straight from the heart and soul of one of God's followers.
