Father's Day is coming, and fathers all over are going to be remembered. I just wish to remind everyone out there that there is a type of father that is forgotten most of the time. He is a childless father, but he is still a father. A father who is grieving not only for a beloved child, but of the plans that will never take place. A life that will never be lived and the person that he will never meet.
So in honor of a childless father who is dear to my heart, Mike, the father of my children - Michael Eugene - lost June 13th 2002 and Viktor Michael - lost January 10th 2003, I have written and wish to share this poem.
A Childless Father
A childless father sits silent
His still baby in his mind
His grief is looked down upon
Didn't he suffer a great loss
A childless father fell to his knees
He screams to God in anger
He was shaken to his core
Didn't his child deserve to live
A childless father is strong and tall
Let him be held helpless by his wife
Let him grieve so that his heart heals
Didn't he suffer a great loss
He is angry and sad because of his pain
He lost his child and the dream of that life
