My Father's Face

My Father’s Face I see my father’s face And I can see a trace, Of sorrow and regret Of wishing never to forget I see my father’s face And I can see a place, Where there was happiness and joy When he was just a boy I see my father’s face And I see it in a daze, Not remembering where he’s been Or what he’s ever seen I see my father’s face And much to my amaze, I see the lines upon his forehead And the white hair on his head I see my father’s face And want to hold him in my embrace, Plant a kiss and wish this day That I could make pain go away By: Nena Enriquez

This is excellent. I like the flow of the words and the message. The images are stinking. The repeating words reinforces the theme of the poem. Great job! ~Joseph
