Happy Fathers' Day

"A father

is a banker

provided by nature."

The one liner may be funny,

but its not

in jest.

A father is the one who,

when you are packing for a trip

and the mother is busy packing things to eat

secretly tucks

some extra money

in your backpack

for you to find later.

When you ask a father

what he wants

for a birthday, anniversary, or Father's Day

the answer is usually "Nothing."

When people think of

unconditional love

they think of mother

and miss out

on fathers

smiling gently

as the family

narrates a picnic

or a day of vacation

well spent

while they toiled

at their work place.

To fathers

who invest

their time, involvement and love

in nurturing a child.

While also working

to provide..

Happy Fathers' Day!
