86 years old,
Today my Daddy Larry...
Would have celebrated on this day.
...
Isn't it easy to accuse someone,
Who is relied upon to be accountable...
For abandoning those that take their own irresponsibility,
As belonging to the one they take for granted!
...
How does it feel,
To have your realities debated?
To have your essence of your way of life...
On the precipice,
...
Please...
Spare me the wide eyed sincerity.
If you were,
As you've stated...
...
Those brave faced days,
Have been packed to put away.
What is felt as seen...
Is no longer emotionally,
...
I 'use' to wonder as a child,
Why there were so many elderly people...
Packed inside the church,
My mother made sure...
...
You took this too far.
Too easy you thought it would be.
And giving your victory speech prematurely.
Only to find me,
...
People had spent years...
Sometimes lifetimes,
Creating and presenting their own problems...
At their own detriment!
...
I touch.
I feel.
I see.
And I appreciate my life.
...
You wish to strum my strings,
To pluck my heart of its emotions.
As if to bring...
Upon my ears sentiment.
...
