Hear me
read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Fathers who must love from far away
Are distanced from their child by more than space.
The child changes almost every day.
How might the father hope, then, to keep pace?
Even so, the deeper bond remains
Regardless of the losses and the gains,
Sight unseen, yet strong and full of grace.
