JOY of Life!

What is the chance of a butterfly
Landing on my finger,

let alone
Stay contented & peaceful...
Feeling the throb of my nerves
Of my heart,
Oh, how I wish...
My babies could, always!

Dad, if Only...

Blessed be the dad 
Who is present...
If even
In heart and spirit!

Blessed be the dad 
Who is not... 
If only
Because of the call of duty!
