The Pillar

Celebrating a Father's Day globally is a norm that permeates appreciation for the mother and the children. A father, as it is widely referred, is "THE PILLAR" to the homes. He is supposed to be the head of the family. He is universally seen as loving, hardworking and a role model. Like the various religious scriptures enjoin, a father must be honoured. The father, being the male parent of a child is an authoritative figure and his role shapes the lives of his children and his love for the Mother equally affects how the child relates when he builds his own. Besides the paternal bonds of a father to his children, the father may have a parental, legal, and social relationship with the child that carries with it certain rights and obligations. For these roles, it is worthwhile to celebrate the father. Therefore, it is fitting that renowned Poets across the globe have contributed various poems in honour of this special day. The unique styles and methods used in this tribute make the book a collector's item. This anthology can best be described as the father of contemporary literary works and the prospective reader will definitely find it beneficial and worth possessing.
