Father’s Day Poem <br /> <br />My children are old enough <br />to know it is Father Day <br />but the younger two <br />are not old enough <br />to work or buy gifts <br /> <br />so my girlfriend got the gift <br />an electronic Sudoku game <br />and my daughter and son <br />gave it to me <br />(no it was not wrapped, <br />except with their delight on their faces <br />giving me something <br />they knew I would like) <br /> <br />My nineteen year old <br />who just got his first summer <br />college area sub-leased apartment <br />but not enough money for food <br />or toilet paper <br />decided to text me this message <br />“Happy Fathers Day Pops! ” <br />at 9: 33 a.m. the day before <br />just in case he forgot <br />to wake up <br />before noon the next day <br /> <br />My other son <br />The eighteen old <br />Who headed off to college a little early <br />Sent me an ecard <br /> <br />“Happy Fathers Day” <br /> <br />It’s too bad, <br />I can’t be home this weekend, <br />but Happy Fathers Day! ” <br /> <br />and it reminded me <br />that just being remembered <br />is the greatest gift <br />one can ask for <br />from teenagers <br />on Fathers Day<br /><br />Oscar Mireles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fathers-day-poem-a-day-late/
