TF12. On Dad’s Birthday. 07–05–2026

A lot has been done (by him),

Yet very little spoken (about him).

So much has been borne (by him),

Yet so little allowed to pass (through him).

Some knives have drawn blood (at his back),

But the armour has forever stood sturdy (in the front).

There is so much chaos (around him),

Yet a blissful peace (within him).

There is so much silent energy (inside him),

Patiently persisting, knowing its time will come (for him).

And as his child has seen,

He is what no one else has ever been.

Happy Birthday, Dad.
