Shane's poetry and prose
Father's Day
Happy Father's Day
Oh joy divine
How wonderful was
That father of mine.
Many a year he
Showed me love
Now he's celebrating
With his Father above.
I miss him greatly
And still love him so
But he's happy now
This I know.
He loves me still
And will forever be close
Although his life
Has been transposed.
This tear I shed is
For his memory so dear
He was a marvelous man
Whom I'll always revere.
Thank you Lord for
His years spent with me
Now could you please tell him…
“Happy (first) Father's Day in eternity.”

This poem is written in honor of my grandfather and uncle who both passed away this past year. As Father's Day approached this year, I thought of my aunt and my dear cousin who would both be facing their first Father's Day without their respective fathers.
