Dad's daughter

Not all dad's can stay to be the love you need, tho' some try. Get dressed in the night.. in the morning hope for a pajama'd hug. Eyes bend when life fails to feed a family oh, the eyes l've seen. Not all dad's learn, to a love less earned than each has returned. A soul brings strength- but not in every guise not in everything. Remember this, even if you think it's of no help love doesn't end, even when yours missed, in a given farewell.

Forgiveness is possible. I wrote a piece called “Eddie” my attempt to see things from my dad’s perspective.

Hello Richard, It took a few minutes to find it..., but glad for it. Deep end of the pool, this write called 'Eddie. There's just too few road maps in life, though some families shine in good fortune. -Richard

Aw, this brought memories of my own dad, his pj's and slippers, and his fresh scent of dial soap before bedtime. My sister and I giving our parents hugs goodnight. I miss him A lot.

Love does bridge all the gaps.. We need to understand, tolerate, forgive, and show care.. At the same time it is so good to let stream all that is hidden inside and might create cracks into our souls.. So heartfelt is the human experience and feeling! So wonderful when it is rendered in a relatable touching poetry! A great pleasure to read you! Stay always blessed. Best regards.
