I miss true friends,
today people want to have it their way.
I miss the ocean,
pretty blue waves with white caps.

when life was truly free.
I miss my dad,
my hero and friend.

Thanks DadI appreciate, more than grieve, you.
If I have a regret,
it's that I didn't convey my appreciation
when you were here.
We had our disagreements,
on different sides of a generational divide,
but there were so many more good times...

Dear dadDear Father,
I’m disappointed in you,

Times with DadI went with Dad,
just us two,
to the hardware store.
We got replacement tubes for the TV,
Sometimes, filters for the heater.
He bought me
Necco wafers -
all different colors -
priceless coins.
Sometimes,
we picked up rock salt
for the ice-cream maker -...

Serene, with soft ocean breezes,
A porch to be outdoors,
Perfectly matched your calm personality.
Empty chair? I see you.

Chosen to be the head of thy race,
to fulfill thy creator’s will,
through siring, supporting, and securing a clan.
Prophet, priest, prince, and patriarch,
How did you lose your lofty perch?
What sinister...
