This Year, Flowers Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

This Year, Flowers

Rating: 5.0


Yes Dad, I bought flowers
I know it's early
But I wanted you to have them for Father's Day
Unlike last year when there weren't any
They're purple and white; appropriate for yr surroundings
The silence of the cemetery is deafening
This time, I won't cry
Can we talk for a while?
I hope you're not still angry
Like you were in that dream I had
A couple of days ago
Although, I can't shed anymore tears
I will never stop thinking of you
I still yr little girl; the apple of yr eye
I miss you very much
Do you miss me?

What a very touching poem, LeeAnn. It brought tears to my eyes. Our love for our father is always in the core of our being

But it WAS a little scary when, looking at my photo on a new driver's license last year, I thought: 'Gee, in this DMV photo I look like my aging dad! ' But at least MY nose was not 'running'. bri : )

I don't mourn the deaths of my parents though they did a fine job raising me and my 4 siblings; Mom & Dad had good kids to work with [ well, maybe not my 'little brother so much' ]. (cont.)

This is a touching epitaph. The last time I saw my dad was in June 2007. It was just like yesterday.
