Happy Fathers day
To all the men
who have lost their fathers
from time or death
from circumstances
from location
may God fill the empty void you feel
of something sacred being taken away
may you find a guide to lead you
and be quick to find those who are hurting too
to all the men
who have never known their fathers
from birth
from abandonment
from rejection or neglect
may God be all your father should have been
and fill with love the parts of you
you’ve never known because you didn’t have a father
to name them
to all the men
who are fathers
spiritually
physically
by choice or by accident
may God give you the words of life
to speak vision into your children
may you find humility to ask forgiveness and learn
from the mistakes you have made and will make
and may it never be too late to hold your child
to all the men
who will be fathers
tomorrow
next year
someday
may God speak your name and heal the broken pieces
may He give you a band of brothers to walk with
as you conquer the world and the unknown heart
to all the men
who have fathers
near you
celebrating
remembering
may God give you the words to show your gratefulness
may you let go of any bitterness and learn to see
the simple gift of presence
