Karma's Lessons Poem by Dee Corpolongo
Karma's Lessons
Today would've been my Dad's birthday
so throughout the day my thoughts return
of all the yesterdays of growing up
and what I would eventually learn
I realize just how Karma works
and has truly played its part
and all the pains from long ago
would be imbedded in my heart.
I remember wanting my own room
so I moved upstairs one day
Across from me was 'Dad's Dog House'
where his treasures were tucked away
He had a door on it half made of glass
with two nude decals of Marilyn Monroe
anyone visiting me would always comment
I got teased relentlessly by some I know
Having had a bad temper tantrum
I smashed that glass one day
Now those embarrassing nudies
have finally gone away!
Afterward and some time later
I continued this destructive spree
Until finally coming to the conclusion
It was pent up anger inside of me
Years later when I was married
I sadly felt those feelings of loss
When my husband had fits of rage
breaking my things to show whose boss
Now gone are days of destruction
A peaceful life I finally live
Wishing dad was here to realize
how we all one day must forgive.
Happy Birthday, dear ol' dad.....♥
I miss you more than you will know
I gradually learn these lessons
and will carry them wherever I go.

I think we all get angry from time to time, it is human nature. I am sure your dad knew this and understood, and we all have karmic debts to pay of. You have expressed your feelings so well here Dee in an excellent poem.

A wonderful and beautifully crafted write Dee. This really and truly touched my heartr and soul. It brings back many fond memories of my father. Forgive and forget are two great words that gets us through life. A very inspiring write to have read. Lovely.
Such beautiful words Dee. Your Dad knows how much you miss him for sure. You have given us such an insight to your life and I thank you so much for this.
Amazing write. we also loose tempers but as the years pass down, we learn many things especially to forgive one. Powerful poem. Loved it.
we all lose of tempers from time to time. I guess thats just life. a fine write Dee
Amazing. What a wonderful, and powerful poem. I absolutely love it! So good. I'd give it a double-ten plus if I could.
So moving, so unpretentious! In youth, we are likely to blow up for silly reasons! But as we mature in age, our temper tantrums die down and we are able to see the weaknessess of others with greater tolerance and understanding! Now your heart is filled with love for your Dad and remorse for the offense you gave him! Very sweetly expressed, Dee!
