Pow

When I was a teenager I felt like I was a POW and when I got some freedom I went MIA and Dad would be waiting to ground me OMG but when the chain was off I would be gone ASAP knowing what would happen, oh yeah I would be DOA as Dad was yelling (I was thinking KISS) you see in those days I was a FF and this would repeat itself SALT but I learned in time that Dad loved me, LOL and I loved him too, BTW there were not enough days with him IMO. Daddy RIP! ______________________ March 15, 2021 Poetry/Verse/POW Copyright Protected, ID 03- All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Inspired by L.

I am not good with abbreviations and usually have to ask someone what they mean. Glad you put in the meanings or would have to search what they meant. Nicely written Constance. love phyl

Belle, thanks for the compliment on my poem, I don't really know why I was so restless as a teen, but thankfully got over that to become serene and tranquil, and had a very special bond with my Dad till his too soon death _Constance
