Come back Father!
come back Home!
see your daughter
come back home
request is long,
though words are meager,
heart is tired,
eyes are eager,
to see you again
but cannot find
a single glimpse of your face
full of grace...
O! kind and tender!
come back home...
with your image
dreams are pregnant
dreams are rich
but inadequate,
for this craving heart.
i have portraits of your figure fine
but these photos are unkind.
they don't let
your tender hands
reach my head.
so come back home...
why don't you hear
my mute cries...?
tho' these are knocking
upon the higher skies.
don't you know
that in my heart
your memory lies.
my anxious soul
and silent sighs
call you Father
come back Home...
see your daughter
come back Home...
I think it is better for this poem to imagine that she's not calling her father...but the one that calling is the voice inside her father's heart which maybe her voice too.
It's a cry from the heart that plays on every daughter's heartstrings whose fathers are away...steeped in emotions and love
Knowing the background, how this poem creates ripples of longings and memories in my heart! ! I can imagine how deep that relationship has been! It is believed that a girl's first love is her father! ! He must have responded to his dear daughter's call from the other world! !
heart touching write felt me to cry for a cry of her father. i have portraits of your figure fine but these photos are unkind. they don't let your tender hands reach my head. be blessed by the heavenly soul
Extremely emotional! ! ! Each of your tributes to your parents is exceptional in terms of composition. why don't you hear my mute cries...? It’s hard to control tears in your eyes after reading this! ! ! don't you know that in my heart your memory lies. my anxious soul and silent sighs call you Father come back Home... see your daughter come back Home... stay blessed! ! ! ! ! ! | |
Heavy emotion is screaming inside living chest..that echoes in mind to tell past memory to live again_Soul
your tender hands reach my head That tender touch a photo can't provide. This poem is a great tribute to a loving father.
I am sure he is in complete agreement with you. If only he could return, but in spirit he can. lovely call to him
