I know how important the emotional bond between father and child is, <br /> So so important in the child’s journey in life with dad. <br /> To receive the Shaping of personality, <br /> the forming strength in character, the love for family, <br /> all these things including teaching the power of Gods love. <br /> The awesome awesomeness a young boy sees in the huge hands of his dad <br /> and the security he finds when he nestles into them. <br /> His football coach, fishing mentor and most important of all the <br /> tower of strength that stands tall in the home and is not afraid to show all his <br /> love to mum and all his children. Who am I to shout out loud to know all these things? <br /> For a life time they were all in my head. <br /> Let’s just look in my early boyhood diaries—many years ago and see. <br /> <br />“Hello Robin I thought your new bike had a broken chain, ” <br />“Aw my dad fixed it last night, he can fix anything, ” <br />Wow he’s his umbrella in the pouring rain <br />Why do I feel tummy pain? <br /> <br />“Hello Susie under the old oak tree I love your rope swing, ” <br />“Pa fixed it last night, now with birds I can fly and whistle and sing” <br /> Why do I feel so jealous for such a wonderful thing? <br /> <br />Oh there is Billy’s pa throwing him high in the air, <br />Strong and firm and catching him, strength with flair <br />Why do I feel it all seems so unfair? <br /> <br />Why you might ask a five year old boy clutching his toy, <br /> Who saw all the commotion as mum called in vain? <br /> As my dad opened the door and left <br /> And we never ever <br /> Saw him again. <br /> Nevertheless <br /> Happy Fathers Day xxx<br /><br />Ken e Hall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-mine-papa/
