Father’s Day (Free verse) by Dovina

Let every man who ever had a father Consider: I knew a man who, when old, grew bitter when young, he forgave As he aged, he complained when young, content The older he got, the more he criticized when young, he encouraged When old he revealed his core

Whatever the “core” of a man is, it is something that you and I are defining differently, perhaps reflecting a basic difference in our views of human nature. You say it’s unchangeable; I say the mind has power over it to change it. By noticing the symptoms of a bitter core in early old-age, a man or a woman can take action. I believe we change the way old age is spent. The key is look at one’s self, to be aware.
