I wrote this for Father’s Day this year for two of my boys that are fathers. Their brother is a wonderful uncle, but that’s a very difficult word to work into poetry lol. 😂😂😂

Clown in the moon
My tears are like the quiet drift
Of petals from some magic rose;
And all my grief flows from the rift
Of unremembered skies and snows.
I think, that if I touched the earth,
It would crumble;
It is so sad and beautiful,
So tremulously like a dream.
Dylan Thomas
