Andrew John Poet Free verse

Our Dad

Dad steps back into this room.
Today is his birthday,
soon to be his wedding anniversary.
The day before yesterday marked
the date of his engagement.

Yes, this is Dad, he strolls back,
back into my life.
Dad does this kind of thing,
a father we all love, recall.
He's been gone for ten years now.

Valsa George November 27, 2023 at 5:44 AM Though gone, parents keep visiting us in our memory. When important days of their lives arrive, we definitely will think of them. It is years since my parents died . But rarely a day passes without some thoughts of them....! Your love for your Dad is so evident ! Andrew John November 28, 2023 at 7:56 AM Thank you for your thoughts, Valsa.

Deb M November 21, 2023 at 12:37 PM Just lovely and sad Andrew!! Enjoyed…Debx Andrew John November 22, 2023 at 2:13 AM Many thanks, Deb. I did another one for Dad some time ago, which you can find on here somewhere: called it "Our Father", and deals with his funeral and I'm with my siblings.
