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
‘It's day for fathers to share" I like Wlodarski's notes about his poem!
2) cont'd: Rob, I really wish that more poets would utilize the Poet's Notes section. It's such an invaluable tool and resource. If used properly, it should clarify for the reader whether the poem is referring to the writer or someone else.
Rob, thank you very much for your support and encouragement through your positive comments. And through you liking my notes about the poem. And for the 5 Stars.
Not having a father I cannot feel anything for this day, that being said I am happy for those who do have fathers, atleast those who deserve to be fathers. An excellent tribute to those men
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!

I would like to translate this poem
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.
