For my Dad ... I love you, Daddy.

Poem Artwork


New Love

Dusty boxes in the yard
for trash pick-up today.
His first love died some years ago,
he’s finally throwing things away.

It’s time to move along now,
a new love’s moving in.
So bittersweet, his feelings,
he thought he’d never love again.

His old love has a new home,
in his memories, she’ll stay …
not in dusty boxes in the yard
for trash pick-up today.

Simple but profound feelings of losing 'the' one. Unfortunately, some can't throw away the dusty boxes. Excellent write CJ.

CJ,

A truly touching piece. It must do your heart good, to see him go forward now...even though his loss, was your own great loss, too.

You are a wonderful daughter and a blessing to him, I am sure. May he be very happy.

Love&Hugs, Rhonda

Great poem, CJ. I recently have been debating on throwing some old things out myself. You put this very eloquently.

I love daughter to father tributes - probably in part because I am a father of a loving daughter. Be this as it may, there is something very special about a daughter/father relationship.
We have friends on the Isle of Bute, just off the West of Scotland. They are a couple in their sixties. It is touching to hear Janet too fondly refer to her late father as 'Daddy'. One could almost hear the distant, little girl's voice inside break through.

Captivating.

Dai

Great to see a daughter acknowledge her love for her Dad. He is fortunate to have found a new woman to have in his life. He has been blessed twice over.

This is a truly loving write for someone who cares so much for their father that they want to see him happy in life. Often children are resentful of parents who remarry but you happiness for your father glows in this write. Puttin aside the effects of someone you need is quite difficult but it sure helps to have your kind of support. He is blessed to have you for his "little" girl.

...and then again it is love, the sticky thing that glues itself to everything, heart, sould, thoughts.
Some have it...some don't.
Nice twist on the tail.

A nice poem, CJ. Even pain cannot inhibit one's life from moving forward. Love is such a strong need in all of us, it is a vehicle that helps us travel out of the past.
