Father

Neville

Father

 

listen

I assure you thus ..

there never was

a love

so strong as his ..

twas

strong enough

to make

bad men cry

and strong men

weak

and children

follow in his wake ..

while

women lost

themselves

at his sainted feet ..

      Ohhh, you praise me too much - a fine poem about me! heehee.
      You have inspired me with a fantastically original title for one of me next poems: 'Mother'. lol.

      • Neville


        those red dots on your temple aint lipstick Mr O .. it's a whole bunch of laser sights 🐭

      • orchidee

        Will ya admit it's a brilliant tile for me (maybe) next poem? Dunno how I would have thought of it without the title of your poem here. Doh!

          you may have got there in the end .. but John Lennon got there before ya 🐧

        • Poetic Dan

          As someone who has no true image, I see you just like this!
          I could not say the same for my own father but hope I inspire some of this from my own child.

          Thank you for sharing
          Always a pleasure

            I am sure you will Dan and thank you my friend for the thumbs up .. I really dont deserve it though 🙂

            We all come into this world, equal at birth. It is what we go home to that makes all the difference. You are fortunate indeed dear friend, for a father who loved you and taught you well. He must have been a wonderful role model, for that goodness is there in all that you write, in the person that you are. I I'm sure he is looking down and saying "That's my boy, I'm so proud". God bless you both!

              I can not fight the compulsion to thank you with all my heart dear Bella, but assure you, I do not deserve the pedestal I am afforded ... Neville

              indeed they are, very rare
              but one decent one in your life
              can make up for a lifetime
              of those accursed vultures..
              (Brilliant!)

              • Neville



                did I ever tell you about those vultures Mek .. cheers ++ 🙂

                His love will always be with you Neville as mine is for me.

                Andy

                  thanks Andy that's truly a nice thought .. Neville
