Of course I would post a poem to honour my father...! Many of us will...
Ode to My Father You could read a quiet story in his strong hands Years of work and worry had left their mark Just as the lines around the eyes spoke of both joys and sorrows or would glisten with pride when we, his children, would succeed Just as his voice could scold when we wavered sing praises...

No one ever choked to death swallowing their pride...

"There are times silence has the loudest voice" ~ Leroy Brownlow
Silence My wellspring Soul rising or running out to the sea Treasures of infinite nurturing revealing themselves to me through full embrace not waning wink or half-hearted handshake And through light and shadows that cling in pairs I catch a glimpse of Thee Suspended likes scales between sorrow and...
