I thirst for a drink of
encouragement but the decanter of your love is bone dry. I hunger for a nibble of wisdom but the core of your intelligence is unfruitful. I yearn to say, “Happy Father’s Day” to your gentle face but a voiceless response is assured. I pray to embrace your handsome 6 foot frame but instead I hug a cold, heartless gravestone of unfeeling. © Linda Balboni 2003 ·······  ·······"Imagination is more important than knowledge and encircles the world"

Hi Linda
This is such a sad poignant piece that expresses so well how much you miss your father and very apt for us in UK as tomorrow (19 June) is Father's Day over here. Nina |

Nina Hi Nina~ Thank you for reading and commenting. The USA also celebrates Father's Day today! It's been almost 5 years since my dad passed away, and I still can't move on easily! When you are as fortunate as I was to have had the most incredible father on Earth, I suppose the pain and emptiness is expected. Nonetheless, poetry and writing certainly helps get emotions out. Take care~ Lindi ······· ·······"Imagination is more important than knowledge and encircles the world"

Oh God Lindi,
I read this and wept like a baby. I'm a bit emotional these days and this triggered so many memories and heart aches... I love it! We have both shared the pain of our loss. May God give you strength to remember, and yearn with as little pain as possible. Hugs Hon and many kisses Dani ······· ·······Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

It is horrible! I hope that you and yours are well! Take care~ Lindi ······· ·······"Imagination is more important than knowledge and encircles the world"
