Jack Ellison Poet Free verse

My Son Scottie and Me

Do your best and forget the rest
Really good advice I was so impressed
My son Scottie is now a different lad
Perhaps my years are piling up
Wondering how many I have left
His mum left us in '99
A loving mum to my son and wife to me
Twenty-two years ago... so sad
Son Scottie and I have never recovered

Daniel Turner February 26, 2023 at 5:58 AM I lost my dad over 25 years ago and it still affects me to this day. How blessed we were Jack to have people like that pass through our lives. Your poem touched me Jack. Jack Ellison February 26, 2023 at 6:23 AM My youngest son Scottie is now 55! He never knew his grandpa! So sad, he never knew his grandpa! He was my hero!
