It hits you when you become older than your father saw.
Things do not
fall into that place
until you reach
a certain age.
Your never looking back
always eyes ahead
and most the time
missing what is said.
Then days arrive
not with surprise
just there
when you open your eyes
its all about you
your older than your father
he never reached this age.
Your older than you thought you were
can I go back to yesterday?
can I return
make my peace
say sorry dad this should be you.
How did it happen
that I become
older than my father
younger than my mum.
Reviews of "OLDER THAN MY FATHER EVER SAW"
New Poetry by John W Townsend
Little River Dadfire
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.

Truer words were never spoken. Often you talk to your children, and suddenly hear from your mouth the words your parents used. It's scary!
