Written 3/16/00, about my father...(ironically, I located him a few months later, after searching for 10 years) --------- I see your face on strangers, their innocent eyes questioning my stare and I learn of my mistake, and keep on walking to the next one. Not a day goes by that I don't fall and scrape my heart on the cold cement, blind to the deceit of my needful eyes. It is a long fall, ten years so far, and habits are hard to break --but hearts are not. And so I continue my fruitless search, my stroll among strangers, trying to find the long lost exclamation point to replace the painful question mark that was planted when you left. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end... [This message has been edited by Ladybug (07-26-2003 12:01 PM).] |

The exclamation point to replace the question mark...that is a good metaphor. Great poem. |

PKReturns, Aenimal, and Icebox -- thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, it was a difficult experience, but one that made me stronger. Thanks again  Kacy -- thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. Yes, the reunion actually was wonderful. He paid for me and my bf to fly to Mexico to see him, and also to meet his new wife (she's very nice) and my new siblngs (a half brother, half sister, and step sister) -- I used to be an only child, hee hee! We keep in touch via email, and even tho things are great now, I may forgive, but I never forget. Thanks again for your kind words  Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...
