Here's Alison: Father's Day
Today is Father's Day - but Alison Ross's poignant poem brings an unexpected suggestion: don't forget Mum today.
Today is Fathers’ Day,
And she sits there in tears,
Remembering the good times,
Of other years.
They both did enjoy,
The calls from the young.
Now she sits there alone,
For the song has been sung!
She relives the memories
So poignant and clear,
While the phone is so silent,
Cause their Dad is not there!
Fathers’ Day it might be,
But I say to you young,
If your Dad has passed on,
Please contact your Mum,
Don’t leave her to remember,
Those days all alone.
Make ‘Fathers’ Day’…‘Mothers’ Day’
And pick up the phone!
