As I deal … I’ve a quiet wish to pass on to those that understand.
“May your children find and treat YOU as their own ‘after-thought’ when your turn comes and may you…YOU… remember and treasure each and every time as I do.”
“A Father’s Day…”
There comes a moment
when we pause
and breathe deep
and pause again
…and look to and through the glass
and see
- our world –
(sigh)
regardless of any wish we ever had
…and accept what is,
the weres, and
even the “if-onlys”
- we’ve endured.
Moments that indelibly leave marks.
The nearness of missing friends,
…times where we reached beyond what we only had,
knew,
…know… as true
…or even lived -
to find what we only dreamed -
and sometimes (or even mostly)
that the night’s mares were owned,
that what we've never known –
is what it is…
just, what it is.
We aren't simplistic…
just ever the fools -
silly lost souls,
children - being led.
We are what life made us,
What times and people gave us.
Left behind to deal as only we can.
…as only
…we…
can.
Chris,
