For Father’s Day

PATHFINDER
Even after all these years
I miss you, Dad. Your solid
guiding presence, care
kept me safe as I grew.
Just like those brave
young men of your crew.
Your pioneering spirit,
lead with confidence,
convinced me to fly
toward adventure,
the exciting unknown
my far-away future.
Explore new landscapes,
Striding with pride, guided
by you, still lighting my way,
Like you did in your youth.
My Pathfinder always,
knowing the safe route.
