When your life
is just faded pictures
memories playing
in your head
will you look back at
your life with  regrets
missed opportunities-
things you should have said
will you blame time and circumstance
for not allowing you  the life
you wanted to live
or will you know in your heart
you gave all you had to give
will you still long for things
that were impossible, coult not be
will you regret
not being a real father to me

~starr

this is an amazing piece of work here. I could feel the fustration, the anger, and even the sadness of this piece. I hope your dad realizes what he has, before its too late. As you so elegantly captured in this poem, we aren't promised tomorrow. I truly felt a part of your soul here. Thank you!

I read this and it made me cry...I just can't believe that we have so much in common...I miss my dad so much...So much hurt I read in this poem...this poem really speaks to me...It hurts...Everyday my memories of him just fade away but his voice stays...*huggz*...*cries*...

Starr Gazer....I really feel pain and sadness here.  Excellent on the writing.  Unfortunately, it is not up to you....it is up to him.

very emotional work here...and I relate all to well to your pain and questions...it is always a two sided loss in this situation...some of us feel the loss more than the others...thankfully we have our writing to express it ...  and you have done that so very well in this piece.
take care, jm

 and you can say baby...
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if told you the right words...
at the right time,
you'd be mine...
baby can I hold you tonight...

I wish we could peek into the souls of our parents to see if they feel and see the pain they cause us. Great Job!!

Thanks   wierd how you don't realize  what is really  bugging you until you just start  writing  and  the pen captures stuff and  starts  writing like it has a mind of its own ...
