My Da always told me that he had to walk 5 miles to school every day, but that it was only three miles back home when school let out for the day (because of his joy at being out?) . I could never, ever have told this tale as well as you have, though, with such beauty and tenderness and love.

God...this is just such a beautiful poem. So tender! A love poem for your Dad! It's an amazing tour de force! And I know it is not a sad poem but it's beauty made me cry. All the times intertwining with him as the little boy and you the little boy hearing him tell of being a little boy...it's such a celebration of him and your love for him! It bursts the heart and overfloods the banks. Simply stunning! Wow! love Dee Dee
