I stand here staring at the flat marble stone watching the raindrops slide down your name the dates... flowers piled high all around you... I think to myself... he'd hate this he was never much on flowers I came here to talk to you to tell you everything I ever felt I left unsaid... But now I just stand here and let the tears flow freely down my face I cant talk to a stone.. I feel a warmth that makes me feel like, maybe you understand... I hope you do... Dad, I love you... Never be a carbon copy of anybody...make your own impressions. - ANON. |

Dear Christopher, this made me just cry together with you. Extremely poignant, sadly beautiful and yes, I do not doubt, that your Dad understands and knows everything you wanted to say. Love, Margherita |

You stand there staring at the flat marble stone watching the raindrops slide down his name the dates... flowers piled high all around ... You think to yourself... he'd hate this he was never much on flowers You came there to talk to him to tell him everything you ever felt was left unsaid... But now you just stand there and let the tears flow freely down your face You can't talk to stone... You feel a warmth that makes you think, maybe he’ll understand... You hope he does... You love him... That’s all there is ................... Good John |

Just...talk. Think silently if you have to. He hears you. Always did. Always will. |

You know that this poem has touched many of us...Many who share a common bond...and the sheer reality of it all is you always leave something out that you wish you had said before they left us...I still wait for the phone to ring, I still hear his voice, I still see his smile and so very much more. Thank You, thank you very much... |

Oh Christopher...this one really..really gets me..I've stood at my own Father's stone in the cold and the rain..just standing there... I have to believe my Father knew..all those things I left unsaid..I'm sure yours did too..  Nice write--good to "sift"..  hugs, g "We of the craft are all crazy...all are more or less touched."
