Looking back at 2007, I can’t help but feel that I have gained much in Fatherhood. I am thankful for my little girl who’s growing slowly but surely each day. It’s never easy being a father (and of course a mother), but the fruits of being one are truly savoury. This little piece is one for my girl, Faith.

Journey to the Child’s Heart

Take the first flight to the Land of Recreation
And learn how to get engaged in leisure grounds

Move up north to River Daft
And cultivate asinine amusement customs

Go on to the Forest of Yarn on foot
And concoct daft anecdotes

Get into a boat and sail to Island of Songs
And croon droll mantra

Fly to the Republic of Chortles
And seek mirth despite the fractious response

Drive twenty miles to Follywood
And star as the self-proclaimed fool

Return to the Fault of Life
And quip at any gaffe

What about you? How was your 2007?
