a letter to my papa
i have many regrets
i didnt say sorry enough
i didnt visit enough
i didnt call enough
i wasnt embraced
by the warmth of your arms
long enough
the same arms
that held me
as an infant
i cannot speak of my regrets
guilt settles
where words should be
so many words
were left unsaid
instead,
i wandered the
hospital halls
youre no longer the
man i remember,
the strong,
intelligent man
that is where my regret lives
i wish i had more time
with you
forever,
your grandson
