Excellent entry for the 2-8-2 writing prompt contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Nice presentation and imagery.

Comment from Wendy G
I hope people will tell their fathers of their love on other days as well. This many looks sad and lonely. That may be your point. Fathers, like all others, need to hear those special words often. Well written. Best wishes.

Father s day in my country is on 19th of Match .. Saint Joseph s Day.

Let s celebrate fathers on Father s Day and everyday!

What an incredibly sad picture of the old man, holding a bloom, like someone clinging to hope in a saddened world that reflects much sadness in this world, the flower grows in the crack in the sidewalk, well done, blessings Roy

Thanks, Roy. I was going for the irony.

Your sentiment is we'll expressed in these brief words. It's not easy to write a meaningful poem so briefly, but you accomplished it. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
It is a great day to visit your father on fathers day and take him a gift. Tell him you love him. However, it should be everyday. I enjoyed reading your great poem. The guy in the picture looks sad while holding a flower. Maybe he is thinking about his own father, who has probably been deceased for sometime. Thank you for sharing.

Bill,
This is a warm, wonderful tribute to fathers on Father's Day. My father died less than a year ago, and I wish I could wish him a happy Father's Day.
Nice photo, Bill.
Good luck!

Thanks, Cindy. Sorry for the loss of your dad. My wife and I have both lost our parents and still reflect on them often with our kids.
Comment from Fleedleflump
I worry this might be true in many cases, that fathers only get spoken to or appreciated one day each year. Is it too polarising - does giving us a day for it also give us an excuse not to do it the rest of the year?
Excellent poem.
