Molly Molly Molly.It has been awhile darling. For your information my daughter of fifty years is starting to write poems and stories of her father of late I am so proud that she is doing this while I am able to still read and beam with pride. I thought your write about your Dad was great. You have a very special talent for writing and some day I may be able to get a little closer to writing better, but will never get near you.God bless and keeping on stroking the pen and ink.

Oh my God, Molly, this made me cry. What a loving man your father was. He was a "Daddy" in the truest sense of the word.
Any man can be a father.
The good ones become dad.
There's Papa and pa and some say da
and even ‘my old man’
but only the very special ones
stay forever ‘daddy’.
Your poem is wonderful -- it reminds me of my own Daddy.
Love,
CJ
Powerful -- full of the kind of pride that only a wonderful father
can instill. With me it was my father-in-law. Why are such men so rare? In the U.S. it is probably because society tries to get them to bury their soft side. Get-get-get instead of give?
You and I are so lucky. The dad my husband and I were lucky enough to share was great; so is my husband. It is obvious that your father had a beautiful soul and taught you that a real man is tender a n d tough. In part because of him, your creative side blossomed. . .and we are the beneficiaries! Love and Peace, 'Pea' <3
He must have been precious! My Daddy is still with us, but every time a friend loses her father, it reminds me how precious he is to me. So beautiful and so full of love - beautiful, Molly!
God bless,
Sandie.

Your Dad in the end may have lost his memory but he has given you a life time of memories.
A wonderful trubite to clearly a much loved Dad.
Molly this brought tears to my eyes. I just lost my Daddy last November, I miss him so much and although I know he is happy where he is, those of left behind miss his humor, and his smile.
I was very much touched by this. My father is getting old before my eyes too and one too...all too soon, I will be "remembering Daddy." Wonderful tribute and write. ;) Silver
Molly, this simple script of love tore into the depths of my soul. The loss of a parent is difficult at best. Yet our memories of them are the only thing tangible that remain...if a memory can even be considered tangible. I buried my mother four years ago today...and suffice to say...memories for me are indeed tangible...this is a beautiful write.
An earnest tenderness here, Molly. My parents are both living but of an age that causes me to dread phone calls in the late hours. I cherish each moment I have now.
Great tribute to your father. I see from your Bio that for sure there was a strong family bond and I guess as we age that we lose part of the bond physcial when one leaves but the spiritual part remains to get the family bond strong or if not stronger,

Wonderfully expressed. An excellent tribute to your dad,

Isn't it great to look back and have such wonderful memories? Your relationship must have been special. I am can imagine that it still hurts. But be thankful for what you had-a very special dad.
Molly...you know how precious and special this tribute is...you have captured in beautiful verses those emotions released in memories with a grand love.

This works pretty well. The first two lines feel strange with that half rhyme. Feels like it doesn't qute fit. But then I am not a poet. I got pitched out of a poetry clas in fact, so who am I to say
A simple style, enhanced by brevity, showcases a series of touching images. The free verse format is ideal here and creates a space for the reader to share in the emotions which awakened your muse. Lovely little verse with universal appeal! Well done, MJ!
Still Living on my Feet is the follow up to Tichaona Chinyelu’s first book, In the Whirlwind, which was rooted in a sense of hard-hitting revolutionary black love. However, in this sophomore effort, Tichaona brings the revolutionary essence from deep
