Father’s Day
The definition of father for Father’s day is
A man who takes responsibility for his kids
Regardless of his relationship to their mother
It’s not about her or any other
It is about ‘we helped bring them here’
So it behoves us to care
They are genetically connected to us
They are ours, nothing else to discuss
Lots of great fathers despite how it’s made to seem
Who play their part, willing to take one for the team
Father’s day is not as flowery as Mother’s day
That’s ok men are not really into flowers anyway
We love our offspring no matter what
And we provide for them, give it all we’ve got
So there is nothing about the mother who fathered me here
There is no such thing, why would one try to commandeer?
So happy father’s day if you have an X and Y chromosome
And if you are responsible for your kids, and make them your own
