Family First Revisited

 

 

As you read this poem

On this Fathers’ Day

Please do not be offended

In any kind of way.

I merely want to look

At how fathers came to be,

Through mothers was the way

Both you and I can see.

Let’s cease to separate them

On any given day,

They’re to thrive through one another

This is God’s special way.

So Fathers’ Day or Mothers’

They’re both to be celebrated

And so today on Fathers’ Day

Both should be commemorated.

And as we do so today

Let’s do so impartially,

On this special day today

Let’s celebrate them equally.

And as we do I remind you

It’s really about the family,

It’s family we are celebrating

Let’s do so thankfully.

Big up fathers! Big up mothers!

Big up family too!

And every opportunity you get

Propagate this view.

I remind us of the times

That we are living in,

Any redefinition of the family

Must be viewed as sin.

A father can’t be a mother

And a mother can’t be a father,

God instituted marriage

And this cannot be altered.
  

Let’s not confuse our children

With these conflicting roles,

Be like magnets that attract

They still use opposite poles.

Two north poles repel

Together they never cleave,

A man is to cleave to his wife

After his mother he leaves.

Through this simple process

Children come about,

Any other cohabitation

Will throw the family out.

They can cohabit all they like

Two fathers or two mothers

But after their ecstatic conclusion

They won’t produce another. 

If we want to depopulate

This is a sure way to go

But that is certainly not God’s idea

Let us not go with that flow.

Let us arrest the deterioration 

And put back family first:

Each one in his or her rightful role

And avoid this societal curse.

The rainbow depicted love

God’s love for the human race,

It was to Noah and his extended family

That God imparted His grace.

Let us all be militant

As we observe the oncoming foe,

Let’s reinforce our family ties

And resist the same sex flow.

Happy Fathers’ Day to all

Let the nuclear family thrive,

Same sex marriage is a misnomer

And really shouldn’t survive.

So on this Fathers’ Day

I will again trumpet the call

And like I did on Mothers’ Day

It’s Happy Fathers’ Day to all.

Happy Fathers’ Day to fathers

And to every mother too

And remember this is about family

And family is the biblical view.
