Father's
Day
by
Gerard Sarnat
It
had not occurred
friends
regularly
do
choose
this
day
each
year
to
send greetings
and
often books
more
than on
my
birthdays
or
other good
times
which
is just fine
with
me to have
that
identity
when
I am
out
in our
world
where
lost brother LCohen
or
now PRoth (will Dylan
predecease?)
show us
how
to find wisdom
creativity.
