who blamed their fathers
for what they seemed as unfair
and now no longer speak
May you learn to be forgiving.
To the fathers who let them down
knowing only how their own fathers
had failed
yet did not correct it in themselves
May you learn to be forgiving.
To all who embrace the masculine
and find little or no compassion
too many unreasonable rules and ideals
or an inability to see yourself in others
May you learn to be forgiving.
Fatherhood needs to be embraced,
encouraged and set free
from its bondage to old concepts
of controlling power
and tethered to Motherhood
in a new harmony and balance
where Loving Kindness flows freely
May forgiveness be the instrument of your Peace.
