a way with "Father's Day"

With Uni friends they hang out after class,
that's having tea and sharing stories too,
and meeting family members, let time pass,
instead of getting drunk on wine or booze.

Responding then to folk's invitations,
and going round to join them at their home,
& sometimes spending time with relations,
and celebrating Jesus' - "Cornerstone"!

"Amen! " we say, that's Milly and her Dad.
A coffee (Father's Day) is what we've had,
now Milly must away (& not be sad)
returning to her study, & be glad!

And then her father (who is just a child)
remains and writes this up, & meets a friend;
& learns HIS father is more jolly wild
than he could even guess (or ever mend!)

So Father's Day is ev'ry other day
we live within our Father's world down here
& let our Father's heart begin to sway
us, and fill us with love, instead of fear.

I wonder too if sometimes "Father's Day"
includes a night of dark within its time
& our job is to not be so afraid
but trust his incubation as "sublime".

And even if we have to pass through death's, 
great shame and power to cower and to force, 
we'll see it as he saw (no more or less):
it's "sleep", that we'll wake up from in due course.
