Dad...My Only Regret

DAD…
my only regret

Today is a day that I am full of regret
As I fight an old cliché,
 The many things I should have said,
I went without saying but I love 
You dad 

As a young girl you have influenced 
my life, And loved me if I was
 moody or happy to be your 
son’s wife

Miles have separated me and my 
birth father So, Like it or not………
yea, I’m a Fallo girl

Leading by example as I quietly took notes, 
the quality in the man is what I will cherish
the most
Well,  with my eyes wide open dad 
I hope you can see I’m not waiting
 so long to tell mom how much 
she means

It is with all of my love that I am sad 
to see you go, I will miss you forever 
and for me please kiss 
aunt Lowi’s nose.

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Donna. I will not be reading poetry for a few days as I will be gone from Friday until Monday. I look forward to reading more of your poetry when I return. I wish you a weekend filled with good health, love, and loads of inspiration. Love and Blessings, Carol
