"Any man can be a father.
It takes someone special to be a dad."

Hi everyone. Busy day today spending time with my husband and boys for Father's Day. We will be celebrating with my Dad next weekend and today, I share with you all a poem I wrote for him back when I was in high school. I wrote it out for him and framed it and he kept it in his office at work for many years.
A bit of background on my Dad: His name is Robert (Bob) Breakey. He is the best Dad in the world and I love him very, very, very much. That about says it!

Four-Leaf Clover
(for Dad)
In a vast sea of green
toy soldiers march
to the beat of drums that
skip.
Flat harmonies
and
mismatched melodies
carry them through blades
as they search for
the rarest of treasure.
They sing not in unison -
but count separately between the lines
of their unfinished drafts:
One,
two,
three.
I hear their scrambled song
as I look behind at the
field of wanderers
and I can feel the
invisible smile.
I am the lucky one.
I know what they are searching for.
I hold in my hand
the four-leaf clover.

Happy Father's Day!!!
