I Never

He died at thirty six Suddenly he was gone He needed to stay here But his heart was not strong I never saw his blue, blue eyes I never heard his voice I never got to love him I never had a choice I never got to touch him I never felt his embrace I never knew his love His kindness and his grace

Your poem tugs the heart, Deb. I feel the pain of having lost your Dad when you were a baby--robbing you of his love and memories. Highly emotive write.

Let me be the first to bravely comment on this enigmatic poem. It’s so thoughtfully and deliberately worded, clearly full of deep meaning. I’ve re-read it a few times and can only hope that you now know fully His love, kindness and grace.
