Father’s Day,2010

This Father’s Day, I was so very sad, For none had greeted me, ‘My dear dad! ’ Despite my sadness, I tried to be glad, For I wasn’t after all, a father bad! I wondered what had gone wrong with this world; Why were my family members being cold? Was it their love for earthly things and gold? Was it because I was now pretty old? My people do not talk to me often; No one finds time to forget or soften; Were souls immersed in vice and mortal sin? Were devils ravaging mankind to win? I pondered over this problem for long; Perhaps, the world forgot what’s right or wrong; May be, in life, all hear a plaintive song; Then, something struck my inner head like gong! The modern world was searching for true love; All want it but will not give it for now; Man’s selfishness makes him raise his eyebrow; Christ loves us truly from heaven above! A day to show one’s love was missed so fast; Man tries to be wiser from his sad past; No one has patience to answer when asked; The holy cross can make things well at last! But everyone must take a share of blame; Love lost in homes is matter of great shame; We have forgotten earthly life’s main aim; Pure souls can go to God from whence they came! It’s time we walked on heaven’s road on earth! We cannot forget God who gives each breath; God’s love made us in human form at birth; Can we not share with neighbors divine mirth? ‘Happy Father’s Day! ’ Copyright by Dr John Celes 06-20-2010
