Papa Day

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers in Vancouver and beyond.

Enjoy the following poem:
The Child Is Father to the Man

"The child is father to the man."
How can he be? The words are wild.
Suck any sense from that who can:
"The child is father to the man."

No; what the poet did write ran,
"The man is father to the child."
"The child is father to the man!"
How can he be? The words are wild.

- Gerard Manley Hopkins
