Notes About The Poem

I Truly Believe A Child Who Grows Up Without A Parent Or Parents...Constantly Strives To Be Someone Who Can Be Stronger, Better and Believed In By Others. Some Fall To Drugs and Alcohol To Drown Their Pain Of Loss. Others Become Talented In Expressing Their Sorrow, Be It Thru (Art, Music, Poetry, Photography, Writing...etc.) Any Type Of Pain Has A Way Of Grabbing A Heart And Healing It Thru Expressionism.

"I GIVE MY HEART TO YOU...I GIVE MY PAIN SEALED WITH A KISS, TOO." VICKIE THAYER'S POETRY TO PONDER.

Lost and Found

he wanders,

somewhere,

never, 

returning home,

his children,

searching,

everywhere,

for a fatherly love, 

finding it,

In destructive things,

the hugs,

that drown pain,

grown,

blowing, 

his own kisses,

they never can,

reach home,

from his Father,

the words,

a gift for one,

that he never,

heard,

"I'm so proud,

of you,

my son."

There is truth in your verse Vickie, the absence of parents or a parent would certainly have some sort of effect on a child, especially when their friends talk about this and that and what their parents did. Tom
