Remembering you on Father's Day!
You were:
Farmer's son, fair student, fine soldier, forever a veteran, blue-collar worker
An artist, a volunteer fireman. amateur mechanic
Things break; You were always there to repair them.
Hero to our family, community, and country.
Eager to help with a problem, and eager to receive our phone calls, but you were reticent.
Road trips that we will never forget.
Missing you today and always.
Your eldest
Thank you for reading...

FUNGAL TANGO
The Prompt Write an acrostic using the word distraction. An acrostic is a form of poetry in which the first letter of each line, when read vertically from top to bottom, spells out a word, phrase, or name. It is a creative way to incorporate a hidden message or theme within a poem. The word that is spelled out through the initial letters of each line is typically related to the overall subject or theme of the poem.
