It touches me in the deepest way to read these lines.
Lines for a man, a man who stayed on his line.
Poetry for a man, whose personality was poetic.
Full of beauty, full of pride and true to simplicity
Oh how it hurts to read these words, meant to be comforting but a somehow painful.
To be like you was my dream, but this dream i dared not chase.
For it takes more courage than i have, to be like you.
True to your self, and true to your principles .
All your pain i felt,in its different forms.
To me you are Brother Moses, a loving man!!!

Again, this is such a heart-touching poem! But I do believe it takes one to personally witness the devastation of cancer. I can relate! Excellent!

heart-breakingly beautiful... My brother in law just lost his year long fight with cancer, so this one hits close to home. We all have things in our lives that we wish we could go back and do over. I know that was one of the hardest things about losing my mom so suddenly... I couldn't be there at the end...
I am sure he can feel your love and prayers.

Bernice, your words are powerful. I hope he heard your words and know that I will send out a prayer for you and your family. Cancer is very difficult... it has been the source of some of my most sad poems. :(

Bernice, this write is so touching and beautifully written. I am sorry for what you and your mom and dad are going through. I went through the same thing two years ago with my father...my step father... for the last 42 years...but to me, he was my dad...just as you have expressed here with your step father. You are in my prayers, Bernice.

It's great that you are a poet dear heart, you shared your inner feelings with your verse and your peers, it helps to be able to express, then pray and put it in God's hands. I'm sure he'll love this, call him dad anyway, scream it out to the heavens. Hope things improve for your loved ones, hugs

Tender compassion in these lines of healing - perhaps, your own form of medicine? It benefits the receiver and the giver - well done, Bernice, you and your step Daddy are in my prayers.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Bernice tell him all you have told us and do it now, for these are the words he needs to hear to giv him the strength he will need. Dad is the man who loved and cared for you, call your Dad now. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words.

Tell him all of it now, when you can see face to face each others worries and love, eulogies always will be unheard by those you love and will be coming too late.
Yes, tell him Dad, I love you!

Bernice,

Don't wait. Life is so short and so full of regrets. Imagine, one simple word can rock his world and bring peace to your heart. That's an awfully powerful word. Peace, Love, Prayers and God's Blessings Always, Paul.

Bernice as a stepfather to two girls (both grown up now with kids of their own) I can tell you that this poem and a letter signed by you would mean more to him than any flowers or cards could ever. Sent it to him if you can't take it there and have someone waiting to read it to him, it will make a difference. Then when you do call him...call him Dad.
