An Ode to My Favourite Men

This is wishing you all Happy Father's Day in advance!


So here goes…


To the Man who grew up as a young boy with no role-model to tow.


To the Man with a powerful mind, creative thoughts and hands to the plow.


To the Man with fire in his soul, depth in his mind, passion in his eyes and a focus on his dreams.


To Men who exude courage, faith, hope and strength even when, especially when it is less than it seems.


To the Man with a committed heart, enviable character, a fierce fighter and a passionate lover.


To Men who hold their place with a woman who's a mover.


To Men who still know how to cry and understand it is never weakness to shed tears.


To the Man who still loves even when his heart is close to sears.


To the Man who loves, adores, trusts, supports and fights for his woman.


To Men who bow their heads in the place of worship to the Sovereign One whose not human.


To the Man who raises his fist in defense of his wife, his daughter, his sister, his mother, his grandmother.


To the Man who's a pace setter to his son, his niece, his sister, his brother.


To Men who handle their business, watch for the signs and are intuitive enough to know when to plant again.


To the Man who doesn't sell short 'coz he drives a hard bargain.


To the Man who is a friend, a brother, an uncle, a daddy, a mentor, a pastor, a boyfriend, a husband.


To the Man who works the 9-6 and yet is not too tired to ‘69’ with his wife.


To the Man who knows never to abandon his family, not on his life...


To the Man with healing in his eyes, faith in his voice, character in his laughter, sincerity in his tone, integrity in his deeds and a twinkle in his smile.


To his baritone voice, his crusty laugh, his ample girth, his callused knuckles, his rough palms, his steady grip, his supporting shoulder, his rippling ‘ceps, his long strides…


To his compassionate heart, his heartfelt hugs, his meaningful conversations, his shared perspective, his battles (won and lost) his divine direction, his uncompromising faith, his pure thoughts, his empty threats (lool) …


To his intents, his purpose, his words, his vibes, his appeal, his intense attraction..


To his values, his person, his essence…the definition of him.


To all he was, is and ever will be…


To the Man who raised me, cuddled me, fed me, loved me, bathed me as a child me and whipped me when I misbehaved as a young adult..


To the Man who raised me to be the woman I am today, taught me to cook my first soup, wash a car, balance my checkbook, siphon fuel from a car, gave me my first Life Lessons, taught me how to iron a shirt and was a standard for any male man.


To the One who gives me inspiration daily, loves me unconditionally, sent His Son for me, teaches me to pray and commune with Him, guards and guides me…


To ALL MY FAVORITE MEN who have rubbed off on me, left me impressed, educated and ‘mis-educated’ me...


To the WOMEN with wonderful Daddies and brothers and husbands...


This goes out to y’all (Aspiring daddies, accomplished daddies, step daddies and ‘big’ daddies) and to the women who love you enough to make and wanna make babies with y'all…


Happy MASCULINE DAY!


HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!


Mucho love!
