A touching reflection of father & son. Oh, the haunting questions we forgot to ask.

This touches me greatly having just lost my own father. Moving piece, Gene. ~Best, Elizabeth

This is beautiful Gene and I so felt your words. He is always with you my friend. :)

A beautiful and touching tribute to your dad, Gene...I miss my dad everyday he was the wisest man I ever knew...hugs, Carole~

One day we all see our parents when we look in the mirror. I really like this simple and touching style of writing on this particular occasion. Love the disappearing image at the end of the poem, Gene.

Gene, your experience, real or simply poetic, I experience frequently when thinking of my father -- of how with each passing day my looks are changing, as I look more and more like him -- I often ask myself, why did you not utilize every possible moment to delve into his vast experience base -- many things he shared I passed up as strictly an opinion I did not always share -- I learn day by day they were not opinions but facts -- it is his smile and the few hugs he relented and shared in his last few years that I cherish most -- I miss him and wonder, what are you doing now dad, where are you now dad? -- you have reached an emotional well with me Gene -- and I sincerely appreciate the depth of emotions in your poem my dear friend -- I bid you love and peace -- Jon Michael

I am back in circulation........'

This one is a masterpiece -- and so appropriate!

WOW! SO MUCH SAID...AND NOT SAID. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS FOR SHARING, GENE. LOVE & FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

The feelings well and I feel them trickle down my own cheeks. I, on the otherhand, never knew my father as "an old man." He died at only 30 years old. I wished him a Happy Father's Day, too. Sending love to you on this special day, Gene.

So poignant.. and so heartfelt.. Thank you Gene for sharing this!

Sad words to remember dad, but you expressed your thoughts in an economy of well thought out words and feelings. Very good writing!

And I thought my dad was old when I was born, though he was only 34...he stops by every now & then, mostly in my dreams, just as your dad probably does with you...e

Oh boy. This is a heavy piece. Well done, Gene.
