Father’s Day--By Neena Singh--India

Father’s Day

The long wait over...
my son, now
becomes a father
he cuts the cord 
hugs his new-born
skin to skin
to connect forever
a dream come true
the contented baby 
falls asleep

oceans apart -
my grandmother's heart 
misses a beat
  Ah! to hold this treasure…
  this precious gift of life!

    Thanks, Neena, this is a song right from the heart, hugging the children "skin to skin" is humanity in three words...
