goodnight dad, i forgive you

goodnight dad, i forgive you

A Poem by Everett Dulin

goodnight dad
may the stars
guide your slumber
rest easy, knowing

survival's guaranteed
with my knowledge
of the sea
sailors hands

formed from knots
ive had to pulll through
i hoisted my own sail
from port, i just missed you

maybe next time
we can be friends
in the next life
maybe i will actually

meet you

How very hard to go through life not connecting with your own father. Felt this deeply. Touched my heart you did. Wonderful poetry.

Great job, Everett. Short and sweet, dark and dangling. Sincere. Best work I've seen on this site so far.

Wow, the father we never knew....either physically never met, or emotionally never found agreement...the fourth stanza is so strong....
amazing depth to your work, Everett,

There is so much I want to say and so much I can't say. I'll just wipe my tears after saying that it's a very well-expressed poem. take care.
