POETIC REFLECTIONS
Kostia/Adobestock
Fathers are human
perfectly imperfect souls
coated with perennial flaws
Fathers are human
resilient hydrated beings
feuled with generational wisdom
Fathers are brothers
steadfast vivacius spirits
engineered with heavenly hands
Fathers are men
sensitive masculine creatures
devoted with humble love
