Today's Beautiful Gem: `Fatherhood is...' by M. Udayakala.

"Fatherhood is son,
Fatherhood is fun,
Fatherhood is questions,
Fatherhood is prayers,

"Fatherhood is late-nights,
Fatherhood is indoors,
Fatherhood is worry,
Fatherhood is tears,

"Fatherhood is teaching,
Fatherhood is teasing,
Fatherhood is guiding,
Fatherhood is singing,

"Fatherhood is waiting,
Fatherhood is pictures,
Fatherhood is discipline,
Fatherhood is freedom,

"Fatherhood is hopes,
Fatherhood is joy,
Fatherhood is love,
Fatherhood is patience,

"Fatherhood is fulfillment;
Fatherhood is family,
Fatherhood is yesterday,
Fatherhood is tomorrow,
fatherhood is daughter;
fatherhood is laughter;
fatherhood is answers;
fatherhood is gratitude;


fatherhood is early-mornings;
fatherhood is outdoors;
fatherhood is hurry;

fatherhood is fears;

fatherhood is learning;
fatherhood is pleasing;
fatherhood is goading;
fatherhood is grounding;


fatherhood is wishing;
fatherhood is memories;
fatherhood is punishment;
fatherhood is reward;


fatherhood is dreams;
fatherhood is sorrow;
fatherhood is longing;
fatherhood is impatience;


fatherhood is contentment;
fatherhood is destiny;
fatherhood is to-day;
fatherhood is forever."

Note: I will be away from next week on my Indian pilgrimage and be
back by the end of July. I hope I will renew myself to offer you
more gems after my return. In the mean time, there will not be any
gems for a while. I also have signed off from the list to avoid
cluttering my disk. I can be reached only at my account. Thanks
and regards. Have a nice summer!
