Father Time waits for no one and marches to the beat of his own drum

Broken Fence


 


I wanted to see my daddy again


But not like this


I wanted to be close to daddy


But not like this


I was mad at you


And I blamed you


For keeping us apart


 


What seemed to make sense yesterday


Makes no sense today


 


Oh how I wish I could turn back


The hands of time


And


Oh how I wish my watch


Would unwind


 


But Father Time waits for no one


And marches to the beat


Of a different drum


 


Now I am looking at a fence


That can never be mended


And now there is nothing


That I can do to fix it


And now there is nothing I can say


To make it better


Because God sent his angels


To bring you home today

April this was a very heartfelt and emotional piece.Father time can be kind, but father time can be cruel too. So very sorry for your loss.....

Be safe.

What a great way to say something that I went through almost exactly. In the many years I lived with my Dad or near him, we always had trouble getting along, I felt the same regrets when he died of Alzheimers. I couldn't even reach him in the last. But you put those feelings poetically precise. I loved the "...turn back the hands of time" line. -- used it myself, but powerful here.
