Talk to Me Dad

Accidental Poet



 

Dad, I know your near me

And I know I’ve got your attention

Indecision has taken hold

I’m in need of your intervention

 

Questions compete for my resolve

Answers playing hide and seek

I’m listening to my heart

For your influence to speak

 

I might have thought I knew it all

While in my selfish youth

But now that I’m older

I know you were my source of truth

 

You always had my back

Even if I didn’t know

I hope you now see my respect

And my love for you shows

 

I’m trying to weigh out the factors

And determine the best choices

With family love I believe

In Heavenly voices

 

And dad, I need you to know

Just how much we miss you

Both you and mom

And how very much we love you

    So beautiful and touching 🥺 we often disregard their words of advice but it doesn’t take long to understand that they were right all along! A good reminder to treasure our time with our parents💖Thanks for sharing!

      And thank you for reading Judy. While young, I didn't pay a lot of attention to things my father said to me, but in his last few years it was finally sinking in. I just wish I had listened more when I was younger. But I guess I was too busy being me. 😏
