===================================================
I don't know where fathers go when they die.
I've an idea that after a rest, wherever it is,
he won't be happy unless there's work to do.
He won't just sit on a cloud and wait for the
girl he's loved and the children she bore.
He'll be busy there, too, repairing the stairs,
oiling the gates, improving the streets,
smoothing the way... Anon. [contributed by Brenda Ragan]
