Confirmation

I gave a child my name one day;
abandoned her in three short years.
Divorce and dreams pulled me away,
but not without regrets or tears.
A lousy father, that I knew; still
wondered as time wound along
if she remembered as she grew
the man who'd sing her favorite song.
One Saturday, a Facebook friend
request reopened memories past.
Acceptance and a message sent;
a chat precise as cutting glass
more than enough to be convinced
of standing. Not heard one word since.

~ i'm sorry... i live with a brother who doesn't say a word... and it hurts like hell... we're all human... if we're lucky, we learn that lesson... if not, there's just silence... an excruciating silence that seems like a dead end... but it's not... they miss the flow of life... they forget to cherish the precious moments that make it flow... they don't realize that we need to make magic for life to be magical... ~ i understand your pain...

Actually, mlle., there was a change of heart shortly thereafter...I'm going to see her face to face for the first time in 26 years in two weeks. I do understand your pain, too.
