After thought

he wakes up in the  morning
consumed with thoughts of the coming day
what to wear
what to eat
should he drive or carpool
do the dogs need food
have the cats had shots
have to remember to get the wife a present
it's almost their anniversary after all
and I should really stop by
to see the daughter and her new family
a small smile crosses his face
what a lovely family the Lord has blessed me with
he goes through the day
decissions to be made
friends to see
laughter to share
and memories to be made
thanks to be givin for all the gifts
that were givin at the holidays
notes to write
decorations to pack away
cleaning to be done
small things really
nothing too hard
life is good
and he is blessed
and just before he goes to bed
a weak thought drifts accross his mind
did he forget something?
a present not sent?
a card not mailed?
he shrugs as he gets ready for bed
if it were important he will remember
and a thousand miles away
a daughter sheds yet another tear
for another Christmas
and another birthday
have come and gone
and he never thought...
of her.

Dear Dana, you might want to share this touching poem with him (if this is about you)... he should know how much you miss his signs of love.
Very sad, very well written.

Love,
Margherita

and then...from a different perspective...the thought of the "distant daughter" could be very close and personal to him...just because he shows no outward signs, it doesn't mean the thoughts are not there...sometimes we experience pains and outward expressions are supperssed as the individual works through the pain.
