Today’s Father
The Father of today
Is free to take his role
In any direction he wants
He can set his own goal
Fathers of the past
Were shackled to society
Having to always fit in
Blinkered from other ways to be
Not allowed at the birth
No sharing of the nurturing
Only some playing allowed
But all the money to bring
Slowly change crept in
Allowing Father participation
Opening the floodgates of truth
Love: the heart’s revelation
Taking an active role
Feeding, changing and cuddling
Fully supporting a newborn Soul
Opens the heart to truly sing
Continuing to learn together
Through the years never truly apart
Helps balance the dual energies
Spiritual growth will impart

Thank you for sharing Amira. I wondered if we’d end up posting the same one today, but I should have known we’d be in sync and would choose the alternative one! 🙂 ❤
