Father’s Day, from far away
I wrote this in 1994. Today is the first time in many years that I will spend Father’s Day with my Dad. 🙂
Father’s Day from far away
By Sharon L. Bratcher
You’re terribly far away,
Yet you’re with me in an instant
A touch of the phone and there’s your voice–
I love to hear your words, your laugh,
Your stories, your jokes, your love.
I wish we could talk once a week.
Even when we don’t talk
Just knowing you’re there is reassuring–
The possibiliity for contact comforts.
Certain tasks and mannerisms
Bring you near to me – like
Hearing myself sound like you.
And always, always, the sound of a circular saw outside.
I hope we’ll have a lot more Father’s Days together–
Or at least in our minds.
