It’s his Beatle birthday
My brother’s sixty-four
In, the good wishes pour
He deserves them
Wants not, a birthday cake
We’re buying him Chinese
We know it’s sure to please
He loves the stuff

A legacy of love, handed down from father to son, to father and son, that is what this photo means to me. I took this in my home in early 1987 when my brother presented our father with his very first grandchild, a son! Happy Father’s Day to my dad, my brother and all the men out there who are DADS!
These men among men
Yes, they were children once too
Forever bonded
Truths and fears suppressed
No instruction manual
Instinct takes over
Years of stops and starts
Hopes that they are forgiven
Love will grant them grace

Life is precious at any age, be you a newly borne infant or a wizened sage. The joy to be had is that you embrace your time here on earth by having thrice as much fun as you believe your time is worth!
