Your day sandwiched between our birthdays, Mom's this past week, mine coming up remembering why I began to write and thanking you, for without that loss of heart I would have never found the many new friendships to share on here: A Feel Inside My Heart (revised) Dad you are not just a memory, But are a feel inside my heart. I try at times to recall of the first But all are a puzzle, or part. Photos lined, on the upright grand. Me in arms, blonde and just "one". Too young to know how special you were, Until life, shared between us was "done". I must have meant more than I thought I did. My siblings (four) teased me each time Your birthday or holidays came rolling around They were very quick to speak up, to remind. There were times that I knew, times I could tell. But you were my "special" when grown. No one can know of the loss I have felt When you left me, without warning, alone. But Dad I can tell you, you've brought out in me A hidden, words deep, from the past. Emotions run high since the day you had left And escape, sometimes flowing quite fast. The happy in me that was then all my life Has been trying to show its face. But the hurts that keep rising, damper the smiles Leaving coldness to fill empty space. The memories of childhood are few, far between. Five children, two adopted... taken away From us was the time for sharing and giving When you worked two jobs for our stay. But you always provided, shelter and clothes and food, life's necessities. Just wish there was more I could have sheltered for you When you were hit with that awful disease. I've been challenged, you know In more ways than expressed And I'm traveling a path of unknown. Each day I will rise and each night will recline And rest with these memories I own. D on't fret Dad, don't worry A nd please know I'm trying. D ays end, as new ones begin. D on't know what the morrow's of but Y esterday's dreams, will send me .................to heal all within. Happy Father's Day to All M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |
