Fatherhood

Understanding

By Gregory AndersonPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

More than just a seed in the womb

Fatherhood provides day in and day out

The nurturing and love that is without doubt

Unsung at times it may be hard to see fatherhoods impact on society

Sometimes regarded with disdain the father is only associated with pain

Men are taught never to cry if they are in pain to bury it deep inside

Some live is this type of dysfunction without the people seeing they are still a human being

The measure of a man cannot be only how hard he fights

Take into account his hopes and dreams also his fear as he navigates why he is here

Bestowed as head of the kingdom there are so many boxes to check why we need him

From childhood to manhood what has he learned

What shall he pass on when it becomes his turn

If no one ever sowed a seed what shall he give out of the depth of his need

In fatherhood there is much to understand before society measures the value of a man

Come together and find the way

Happy Father’s Day
