I visited there today...
All morning I could here her

distantly,
my once mountain home
was calling me

come,    sit awhile in the sun
ease your troubled mind
listen to my wisdom whispers
the answers you might find

I visited there today...
as I sat in the warmth
listening to her song

reveling in the peaceful calm

a breeze of spring
blew tree tops 'round
and echoes of life
made such a beautiful sound
the sun darted in    and out
    of the trees

while shadows played
   in dance of leaves.

I visited there today...

and I thought of you,
and you...
the mother we never had

and the only mother that we knew...


Happy Mothers day Dad,
we will always love you...


I really want to care,
I want to feel something,
let me dig a little deeper
nah, still nothing~
my give a DAMN is busted. Jodee

How beautifully sensitive, dear Donna.
Indeed there are Fathers who also have the role of a Mother (or the other way around, as was my case).

Enjoyed your write greatly.

Love, Margherita

My mom let me go live with my dad when I was 13 and then she and I lost touch, so I kinna know what you are talking about.  He was my MOM for a long while before she and I had a relationship again.

Bless you and your daddy!!

Oh Bella, this really touched, such beautiful longing. I felt the warmth of the sun, the way it darted through the trees, to welcome and kiss you.

My sweet friends, thank you so much.  Even life, when it has been touched by sadness can be special when you had someone like my dad around..being mom and dad.  
Hugs, to all with my sincerest thanks.
