I have been writing though, in my notebook, I just haven't typed it into my blog here. Also, I've been editing my story/book. I'm trying to figure out how many typed pages make a book page, to know how much I have so far. I still have a lot more to go, but I'm hoping to get it done this summer. The thing about my book is that its not my story. I'm telling some else's story, so I have to wait until they are available, and our schedules always conflict. So, we're trying to work it all out. Please be patient with me.
With Father's Day coming up I wanted to post this poem that I wrote a while ago in honor of Father's Day. I think I wrote it in 2005 but it could have been 2004.... Oh well, enjoy.
The Missing Fathers
The Missing fathers
Where are they?
I hear the children weeping for their daddy
I see the young boys throwing the ball to their mothers
I see the young girls asking, “When is daddy coming home?”
It’s Father’s Day
Where are they?
What do the mothers tell the children about daddy?
What will the excuse be this time?
Everybody stares and shakes their heads but no one wants to help
The mothers
The mothers are the true heroes on Father’s Day
The mothers are the ones that keep everything together with the children
They have Mother’s Day but they should have Father’s Day too
Where are they?
Where is he?
Where were you when I needed you the most?
Why do you only care sometimes?
Stop bragging about me, and be there for me
How can we make up for lost time?
My mother
My mother is the best mother; she deserves a gift for Father’s Day
Not you
Where are you?
Where are all the fathers?
The missing fathers on Father’s Day
