We can learn so much from all of our friends and relatives. Even the ones who hurt us the most.


Poem Artwork

 

"Don't do as I do; do what I SAY" my father once said to me.

 

I thought to myself, “How foolish can he be?”

 

 As a child, I tried to mirror him to the tee.

 

 After he died my memory is mixture of sadness and glee.

 

 What did I learn from him as a child?

 

I learned how NOT to be.

 

Amen

 

John Michael Domino, 3/28/17
