Dear Hugh, An extremely touching & moving poem, Hugh. It brought back a deluge of memories of my departed old man who worked as an operations manager for the Canadian Pacific Railway. We shared the love of hockey, camping & fishing & he even supported my passion for poetry, however, on most other issues, we were worlds apart, I'm afraid. Thanks for the memories. Sincerely, Gregory

So unfair to have to start building charactor and strength at a time when one should be exploring the world, care free...adventures. Great poem.
A beautiful poem. A lovely member of my church passed last night and I also think about my aging parents, that kindness that I never want to relinguish.
