Forcing us to be friends

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!
A great poem. Ode to fatherhood. Reading this poem made me proud of being father to my daughter. Top score.
I'm very happy for your positive realationship with your daughter. You should definitely be proud! Sincerest thx for the top score!
I have actually seen dogs playing with cats... really like this poem, Reminds me of a verse from the Bible: And the sheep shall lie down with the lion...
Cowboy Ron, I too have seen this. And it always makes me smile! Thx for your wonderful response!
no human or local god can ever be born to any mom unless some where a father is born SO HAPPY FATHER DAY TODAY LET EVERY DAY BE POPS LOVING DAY ALL SAY HAPPY POPPY POPS DAY ALWAYS MY POP LEFT ME FIVE PLUS DECADES AWAY TO THIS DAY
It must be a good feeling to be a father, and celebrate every Fathers' Day.
To share experience of wisdom, to remember victories and forget losses, to get together with dear ones, siblings, this Father's Day is useful. I have a thought why so many days are celebrated by people. This poem teaches us that there are many things to do on each day. An enlightening poem indeed!
Such a magnificent poetic work! Thanks for sharing, dear poet.
Love your verse....excuse Large reply, Have a great day in Canada, , just posted some new ones! Please read them. Merci Panagiota~ California
That's a good poem. Fathers should be proud of their sons, who are sons of God as well. Thanks for sharing.
last four lines are sufficient to knock the human conscience. Good post. Thanks for sending. Pranab k c
Lovely poem.... I love my dad more than anyone in this world. Very nice words are selected to express the gratitude. Thanks for sharing
I loved reading your poem. Great job. I hope you had a wonderful Father's Day.
There is a complexity in the father child dynamic (maybe more the father/son bond) where love and anger are a mutual attraction, fathers day where differences are set aside, and a celebration is reached. Lovely poem Richard, some very thoughtful lines, a toast to fathers and this fitting tribute.!
very nice sir, i read the poem and enjoy it, very nice explanation of FATHERS and EMOTIONS.
What a poem! What an acknowledgement!
I greatly appreciate your very positive response, Mokhele.
