For Father’s Day, here’s another poem written by my father that was once posted on our refrigerator door:
Yet I Can Live
I cannot pierce the veil that hides
The unreal from the real
Nor penetrate the curtains
Which the Infinite conceal;
I cannot well define the Deity
Nor His eternal plan,
Explain the miracle of life,
The mystery of man;
I cannot with this finite mind
In true perspective view,
Yet I can live, yet love, yet serve,
See beauty, seek the true.

SATIRE: If your thoughts turn to humor on Father’s Day, I invite you to read Jock Stewart’s latest column called “Father’s Day is No Laughing Matter”
HERO’S JOURNEY: For thought’s about the shadows in the hero’s path, I invite you to read “The Shadow Knows”
I like the poem very much!
Thank you, Montucky. It was poems like this that drew friends to the refrigerator for inspiration and a Coke.
Ever since you first mentioned it I’ve thought that refrigerator idea was the best idea ever!
