In honor of Father’s Day, I am sharing two poems my dad, Rich Latta, wrote. One is about life and the other is about me. What AMAZES me about these poems which were written many years ago is that each of their messages is as true today as the day Dad wrote them. May these poems inspire you to cultivate your creativity, something that my dad was always pursuing.

Life
One holds
Life dear as
Everything we
Possess-
Because
Without it we
Possess nothing.

Tena
From small steps
you grew to bold strides
then to running
and then to soaring
with the wings of knowledge
to carry you
wherever
you wish to go.
