2007
by Lisa-Dawn SparlingI wonder what it will feel like this year,
Now that I'm 30,
and I don't have a dad.
I am in such a lonely place,
my friends? where are they now?
Now that I need them and they don't need me?
My world has shifted, like a fault line after an earthquake,
now that things have settled there are permanent changes to the landscape,
new valleys, new cracks...
I just need to figure out who I am now,
Now that I am 30 and I have no dad.
What will 2007 bring?
New independance and growth?
Or emptiness and hollowness? 01/02/2007 Author's Note: sorry kind of a downer poem... I lost my dad less than two weeks ago and am feeling a little lost.

To me this is true poetry.... honest and raw! Sorry about you loosing your Dad... hard at any age. As to being 30 *grin*.... wait till you hit 50 the 50's are GREAT! (voice of experience) |
