Happy Father’s Day Mike :) I am not sure what reaction you were trying to get in this poem, but I feel a lot of regret... Hugs Eve ~' *

Thanks Eve, I'm not entirely sure either, not really regret as I was blessed with a wonderful mother and family but just I can't relate to Father's day xxoo

The sadness and loss is expressed so well in your poem. Mike. Father's Day has become hollow for me too.

I think there are many that share your sadness and emptiness at not having a father in their life Mike. I read an awesome poem by Artsieladie - I think you will relate to it, hugs Jan xxx www.poetrysoup.com/poem/happy_dads_day_1030944
