One Day
I looked for you
and you weren't there...
I checked the RecRoom
and under the stairs.
I searched the storage house
the attic too
That's funny...I must miss you.
I went to the backyard,
Walked the nearest park
set down on a bench
and began to think...
In all of the places
In every face
not one resembled
a trace of you.
I looked for your love
They said the price
would be high-
I paid them no mind
I had nothing but time
I had love on my side-
I had a Lion's pride-
I had you as my guide-
I had you, til you died-
I had...a...fog
...over my right eye.
...til the moon rises
...at noon, cries
...the Loon.
A Bird heard?
We hope...
I look...
We wait...
I stay...
We think...
I pray...
ONE DAY!!!

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

This made me so emotional. Loved your poem. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
This made me sad. My dad is aging so fast that it scares me to think how much time I have with him. Beautiful poem.
