Happy Father's Day!
“If I cannot say, and I will not say
That he is dead, he is just away!
With a cheery smile, and a wave of hand
He has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
Its needs must be, since he lingers there.
And you- oh you, who the wildest yearn
From the old-time step and the glad return,
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of there, as the love of Here.
Think of him still the same way, I say,
He is not dead - he is just away.”
