IT IS FATHER’S DAY!
I love many fathers: my daddy, my friend’s daddies, our Heavenly Daddy, lotsa daddies!
For all of the love, respect, and awe I have for all of our Father’s and Daddies and Papas, here is a poem for the occasion:
thank you Father
daniel m klem
thank you Father
for being with me
You give me joy
more than i need
You give me strength
by being there
You hold my hand
when i am scared
and as Father
You go far above
all of the men
by giving me love
Taken from simple words for God from a simple man of God by daniel m klem, page 176.
I love you, Pop! I love you, all of my dear friends who are dads! I love you, God!
a simple man of God 
Amen. 🙂

Great poem, Dan.
I noticed the page number. Are you pulling these out of a book you had published, or is it something that you compiled on your own?

I have actually had two books of poetry published! (Links are on the right side of the blog) They were published in 2007 and 2009, but the next one is probably still a couple years away. I only have about 100 since the last one was published (partly because a notebook full of poems was lost).
The poems I am posting this year will be taken from the first book. Next year I plan to start using the second book. Makes sense, eh?
Thanks, Heather!
