A Moment Remembered

Just a short, yet vivid memory. The ending, a bit choppy, but it wanted to share it just the same. Theatrically vivid Fresh on my mind Feeling quite timid Unforgettable time My feet pedaled fast Then slowed to a halt Daddy already passed But I had an un nerving thought I kicked up the stand Hung my helmet on the handle Working tear glands Heart heavy and full I began to fear The inevitable time With my daddy not here To guide my line I sat on the gravel Awaiting his return My fears, he would unravel There was something to learn As anticipated My daddy returned He somehow evaded While making sure to discern His voice, like an angel He couldn't stay mad A gravitational pull Couldn't bear to see me sad An incredible man Laid my path out before me With a gentle hand That could never quite scorn me With time, I changed I became a parent Our relationship, estranged Nothing could spare it All of the blame Resides on my shoulders My love remains But the air a bit colder
