Father's Day

I want

to thank you for all you taught me and

to forgive you all that you didn't

to praise your fortitude and courage and

to overlook your weakness

to acknowledge your wisdom and

to forget your foolishness

to recall our times of joy and

to dismiss the days of pain

to say these things

because of the many ways

i am your reflection

and because today i saw myself

in the eyes of a little red-haired boy ~ James Cahoon
