TO THE FATHERS OF THE WORLD ....

WITHOUT CEREMONIES OR REWARDS

Striving & Struggling
to provide for seeds
Soiled in futile fields
We be Men of Responsibility
Without Ceremonies or Rewards

Even in distances peeking
Fathers of Children
Have to keep on reaching
& despite the circumstances
Keep on seeking
Those loving relationships
that reverberate
I care about you deeply,
Because now
is the time for being
a part of the lives needing --
Fathers
& not suppliers of pain
Promising Tomorrow,
Between tired verbals
& tear stained sorrows
That children swallow
unnecessarily,
As the bio-clock churns
ever so steadily
In Search Of Fatherhood ...

Striving & Struggling
to provide for seeds
soiled in fertile fields
We be Men of Responsibility
Without Ceremonies or Rewards
needed ...
To validate our presence for being.

Without Ceremonies or Rewards, Fathers in cities, hamlets, villages, rural districts, suburbs, subdivisions, and townships throughout our Global Village go about the business of positively shaping the minds and souls of
our children ... our future .. our bridge to the future.

Married Fathers, Divorced Fathers, Single Fathers, "Long Distance" Fathers, Non-Custodial Fathers, Custodial Fathers and "Stay-At-Home" Fathers give up their dreams and aspirations in the hopes that our children ... our future .. our bridge to the future ... can live their dreams.


To the Fathers of the World, please know that your struggles are not going unnoticed.

Please know that the world understands that you are Men of Responsibility.
You are the glue that holds our families, our communities and our society together.

You are loved ... and so desperately needed.

Happy Father's Day!
Happy "International Men's Month"!
Happy "June Is Father's Are Important Month"!
