My Father Too Could Be Happy Sometimes Poem by Shalom Freedman

My Father Too Could Be Happy Sometimes



But he had more pain and suffering most of the time
Than any person I have ever known-
I am in my old age often intensely happy
I wish I could give some of it to him
But he isn’t here any more-
I know his suffering and his pain
Taught me to appreciate the other side of it-
I am grateful to him
And to my mother
Who in her own quiet way
Was happy most of the time-
Life can be this happiness and sadness I feel now,
But it also can be Hell-
God bless my parents wherever they are
How I love them still
In my old age-
