A Father’s Day
Poem
Love your father, Frank DePoe Aspria
When I first felt you
When 1 first saw you
When I first heard you
When I first held you so tiny and
beautiful
In my arms so tight and so much love
I carried you when you couldn't walk
I changed you when you needed to be
I bathed you when you couldn't
1 was there to hold you when you cried
I am your father who will always love
you
Forever until the end of time
I am yours and you are mine
