DOORS .

The elder poet

I've been through doors that made me happy .

I've gone through doors that made me sad .

Behind doors it did excite m .

Behind doors I've cried .

 

Behind doors I saw my father .

As he lay so still when dead .

Behind doors I felt the sorrow .

As I lay upon his bed .

 

Too late to say I'm sorry .

The words for him or I to say .

We stood by what we thought was right .

I stand by it every day .

 

His door to life is closed now.

But his memory is alway's there .

His leaving wasn't his choice .

It really wasn't fair .

 

I still talk to my father .

No better one could I find .

Because he's not here in person .

He is alway's in my mind.

  • Comment from author about the poem: My father and I were not speaking because a disagreement between my mother and my ex wife. I stood by my wife and my father stood by his wife . Doing what he thought was right . He passed away two weeks later . something I will alway"s regret . If you are not speaking to your loved one you need to start talking now. Mend those fences. It something you might not regret.
