To All The Fathers

To all the fathers,

The ones who rise when it’s still dark to feed young ones,
the ones who call just to hear the sound of their grown child’s voice
the ones who work past fatigue to provide,
the ones who do the right thing when no one is looking,
the ones who are with us even when their presence is a memory —
a melody we carry wherever the world takes us
