Aspirational Ode to Black Fathers
Jun 18, 2023
Dr. Maurice Franklin June 18, 2023
Hey dad
I see you in all your swagger
Being the family muscle,
being tender
Your silent love and constant presence encircle our family
I need your emotional protection and I need your love
Your smile is priceless, don’t fear vulnerability.
Those glimmer of emotionally free moments are guide marks
They lose me from generational shackles
I need you to freely Be
Happy Father’s Day
