In praise of fathers 1942 .txt text/plain 9571 583 82 Though the years that separate Father from his children may be twenty-one or even less, though when the child is ten Dad is still in his early thirties, and when the children are in the twenties he is in the mellow forties of a man's highest powers and strengths, they marvel how he manages to get around without the aid of crutches or a wheel chair steered by an attendant. I do recall a song of other days that still recurs at mel- low moments; it pays Dad a sort of round- about compliment by complimenting his taste in girls: i'd like a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad. cache/_005456944.txt txt/_005456944.txt
