What would my father think
if he could see me now?
Would he be disappointed,
and we’d end up in a row?
Would he tell me
to pull myself together
or even
hand me a white feather.
Or would he extend his hand
and tell me not to worry.
To take my time
that there’s no need to hurry
He would tell me I will
be back on my feet before long
and then I will be able to fix
the things that have gone wrong.
I know my father
has been gone a while,
but that doesn’t mean
his memory can’t bring a smile.
My father has been gone since 1993. I would like to think my father would say ‘well done’. Sadly he would say ‘whatever you are doing won’t last so waste your time, you’ll never amount to anything’. I have a got a photo of my father on the wall which I often look at and say ‘hey dad I am doing fine’ .
