It was lovely to be able to experience Father’s Day in terms of celebration yesterday. Instead of feeling grief and loss as in previous years, I was able to sit by the river after my jog and honour Dad’s memory and my eternal gratitude for his amazing soul by writing and connecting with my constant source of inspiration. I know I am truly fortunate to have been raised by such a one off man.

Everyday Sage

I celebrate you every day

Behind me and beside me

A force that never fades away

Your love forever guides me

You taught me how to live with grace

to open to my feelings

You showed me how with heart to face

into my daily dealings

You modelled how to keep the faith

proved life’s not there to hurt you

“Give peace a chance”, you’d often say

and “Patience is a virtue”

Recalling you…
