The most intimate relationship between a son and his father has been unfolded very beautifully in this equally beautiful poem. Heartiest Congratulations on the Poem of the Day for this lovely poem.
Two sons and four daughters. This applies to both genders. Thanks and congrats
For most boys their fathers are their role model- a friend, philosopher and a guide. Thanks for this lovely poem that is more than a commentary on father - son relationship.
Brilliant poem, so so true. My eldest is just like his Daddy in every way :)
That's how I feel about my son too. Congratulations on poem of the day with such a sweet poem.
lovely poem! Thanks for sharing it. Congrats on being poet of the day!
As a lad I thought daddy was just too busy for nothing. But now I understand why he was. Thanks for shearing.
kudos to fathers, the often less celebrated head of the home. congratulations Mary
Such a touching poem Mary, makes me think of my husband comes home how our son runs up to see him. Very nice!
Nice mary, father & son stuff is always cool, Love dave xxx
This is great stuff Mary. In today's world of feminisation it is good to see the value of masculine traits appreciated. It is so wonderfully put together and the final line of each stanza is fantastic. Men are not all Homer Simpsons, and it is good that responsibilities are recognised. Superb Mary, as always.

I find it touching, myself. It's nice to know such great fathers are out there. I personally believe it to be rare.
