THROUGH A FATHER’S EYES

Through a father’s eyes
Emotions can’t hide
A father’s great pride
Today a new bride

A stroll down the aisle
A changing of charge
A lingering smile
She has come so far.

Like a scepter passed
Vows lovingly cast
They turn now as one
He welcomes his son

Yet his heart feels the loss

(c) Michael R Wood 2002

Wonderful write, Michael! I could feel your emotion. We all feel that when our children marry...we want to hold on a little longer....Good write, Michael!

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
