Questions from a young girl's heart

There are those questions that remain...

what secrets lie beneath your blue
as curious winds blow,
scraping our toes along the sand
we walk,
thoughts to ourselves

it was sometime in the summer
of my fourteenth year
the last time I remember

we sat at the counter
of some dingy airport cafe
your face, I can't recall
as I was just sitting there,
stunned and surprised

your eyes, they were sad
as you looked straight ahead
mixed with regret, perhaps
memories, maybe

every daughter needs direction
guidance
and love,
sweet words of wisdom
I had none

this emptiness prevails
sorrow overwhelms
on a good day,
and I?
press my way
toward parts unknown
and ill prepared for...

~ oh, you move me to tears again... it's been a while since i accepted my perpetual state of unpreparedness... but it's so tough that every once in a while i wish i could just say it aloud and feel lighter... ~ very sensitive writing... a treasure...

Hello Allmax, So nice to hear from you again. I agree with you!! Every daughter needs her father, including the wisdom, guidance and love as well. Without it, there is this void.... It is especially painful when a parent is lost early in life and I think for a daughter, it does indeed influence her choices in life long after....

Sending you smiles across the miles...

This is an emotional roller coaster. As we age and mature we realize that our views on life, love, and just about everything we know comes from our parents. I for one will be here for my girls until they run me off...lol Talent seeps in every word, awesome...
