its people like u that makes people relize and remember how important it is to have a father in a child an also as we grow up. your poem is beautiful

i really like this poem its very sad im sorry about ur loss but i bet he knew how u felt even if the words were not said

You touched the soul of every person who ever lost a beloved father with this one, Jim. Thank you. Kindest regards, Sandra

A very open and heartbreaking poem to your obviously much missed Dad. I'd guess he would have been very proud and happy to have read these very fine words. It takes bottle to write and post this kind of searing honesty jim. I really appreciate it. jim

Jim, this was a very good write. It was a beautiful letter to your father. Reminded me of a poem I wrote for my Dad. It was beautiful how you wanted to share so much with him. It is strange the things we remember and even all the time that was wasted. I too began to understand only some of the things about my father perhaps within a couple of years before he passed. I have to say, Shep, was quite a dog as I read your writing on him. This was a very good write and that perhaps the things we didn't get to do with our parents instilled in us to be better towards our own children. Sorry for your loss.....I did enjoy this letter.

very heart felt maybe i should take a leaf out of your book but i think for me its too late to heal to many wounds

jim, i love this poem. very pognant and real. power of poetry.
