Notes About The Poem

"Life has no limitations except the ones your make."

''Life Is a Clicking Clock''

 
I lost my father suddenly with no goodbye
Oh, all of my life he had been my rock
I looked down at him and of course I wept why, why
Now, part of me is chained with a brass lock

Father had many quotes that made my young soul fly
He said life is about each building block
On nature hikes I first saw beauty through his eye
I will miss always our long walks and talk

Now, I glide in a blue sky drifting up high, high
I dip, float and soar like an orphaned hawk
And at his cold tomb I sing him a lullaby
Rest in peace . . . "as life is a clicking clock"

Unseeking Seeker June 17, 2022 at 4:09 AM Love this as also the tribute to your mom in another poem. You seem to be in a pensive, nostalgic frame of mind. Constance La France June 18, 2022 at 1:07 PM Seeker, thank you for the compliment, yes, that is a good way to describe me, blessings ~Constance

Kim Rodrigues June 14, 2022 at 8:05 PM Wrapping my arms around you. Two parents, often united, but with something special to leave us with. This will be a winner!
