Fatherly Valentine

Because he never had
his own father growing up
he never learned to defy
his father but only to please
and make him proud
and you can see that
in his later political life
or take this one who
did have his own father
but felt only contempt
for him and thus never
experienced a father’s
pleasure and respect
not as something earned
or sought but the free gift
of his original affection
