A Tear That Bleeds

In the silence of peace I see your eyes…
A guiding light from my soul to the sky…
Your forever presence hovers like a warm breeze…
Touching the very essence from a tear that bleeds…
Out from the safety net of all my sinful imperfections…
I was taught the values through intentional misdirection’s…
In daylight dream you watch over with a signature grin…
And see the boy who now has direction from where he’s been…


(for Dad)

Michael, I enjoyed reading this beautiful but sad and touching Couplet dedicated to the memory of your Dad. It is a magnificent tribute and I rate it a 7! Warmest regards. Pandita
