You wait for God's 'harvest Train'.

A magnificent tribute for your Dad...Surely he will see and hear this, and in someway return that warmth and sign of love back to you when you least expect it...At least that's how it happened with my Dad, not too long after he had passed on to a far better place. This trio of sestets is structurally sound and fluxed...I enjoyed the read. ~FjR~

Thank you, Frank. My dad was an only child who raised 9 children along with my mother who is still alive at 87. I was the third oldest and majored in Classics at Fairfield University. My English teacher, Rev John McIntyre, S.J. Taught me poetry as a freshman and senior. I still love to read and write because no one else seems to care. It gladdened my heart to see that someone else read my poem and actually liked it! Imagine my surprise! Thank you again! - mjor
