Father

Always I see you in the morning sun

Then too I glimpse you when the day is done

Autumn leaves are a fiery pyre

You are the dawn splendour, you won’t die here

 

You are the wind whispering through the trees

You are the nesting sparrows in the eaves

You are the vibrant garden of flowers

You are the grace in my needy hours

 

When the spring buds hope on a given day

You are the fragrant promise  that  will stay

You the invisible waltz dancing free

You are all I am and will ever be

another stirring tribute to your father...you write with such tender feeling...
i read this and remind myself to appreciate every day with mine, well, i do...he is 93...so the time gets shorter, i know that.

the way you mix nature with human feeling is quite good.

I am glad that you do, too few have that these days. Reading this was almost like seeing a magic show...it makes you happy and you can't really say why! A proud father he must be!

A very personal poem I am sure. But you pulled it off expertly.

This is very sweet and kind of dreamy, it calls out to your reader to embrace the moment, for we dont know that it will ever come again do we?
the fragrance lingers on and on, it warms us, holds us and gives us comfort.....this is a good poem :O)

[Belinda]

I like how well it flows. It isn't hard to tell there is love in the poem, but the connection to nature is what I think makes it even better.
