A poem that captures the thoughts and feelings of longing for a lost parent; and for me and anyone who may know my fathers story ; how he did not realize how dearly he was loved by anyone that knew him; if only briefly ; he just had a way of magically endearing himself in a forever way...he was peter pan once..and he taught us how to fly ..who could forget that?
I reach out to touch you
To grasp your hand
Like a child
L.A. stopped loving you
New York didn’t want you
But I did
I see you sometimes
In dreams
Or in a picture show
Emptiness is all I see
When these pictures I gaze upon
Because you are not
There
Or
Here
You told me you would make your way
Back to me
But you never got here
I look up at the stars
And I look inside
My heart
Did you ever read your story?
Did you know
Who you really were
To me?
A string pulls on my heart
Its attached
To your soul
It cannot be ignored
Or forgotten
It cannot be erased
Even though
I am left forever
Without
You
FOR MY FATHER .. ROBERT…

I know it was made in 1947 and shelved, but then released the year I was born - 1949. The movie also serves as an historical window. It captures that age very well. Bobby Driscoll had great talent, and this is a very lovely poem to his memory.
