Father's Day

It must be tough to be the strong one,
to be the pillar of stability
when the world is falling in around us.

It must be hard to stand by,
to see us standing directionless
at the crossroads of our lives.

It must be painful,
to see us crumble under the weight of life
watching silently as we try to dust ourselves off.

But I hope that someday, when I have children of my own,
that I can face the challenges with
half as much strength and dignity and love
as you have shown us.
Thank you for being a great Father.
