Unforgettable
torrential rain
of t
e
a
r
s,
now dry;
a pocketful of years
i wish
i could reclaim,
d r i f t e d into oblivion,
yet, it h u r t s
to contemplate, still.
though you've since
blown your last goodnight kiss,
you visit me
time and time again,
for memories of you...
are watered seeds
in the garden soil
of my mind,
you perennially exist there
as a peony
in full bloom,
thriving past
every season
It's where
I promise to keep you, Dad,
until my life
is through.
gone to glory
yet, you remain...
unforgettable
