Hello, Chrissy,

I am so sorry. I never know what to say that doesn't sound like a silly clique. I will share my belief. I think he is always in your heart and does read your writing. My father threw all his writings away when he lost his girlfriend. I wish I had his writing; maybe I'll read it in the next life.

Take care,
Nome

It is a perfect match As I bread you heart felted poem it brought tears to my eyes
I have no happy memories of my father
Yet God blessed me with a parlous Step dad who gave me what you had.

A very well-written heartfelt poem about your dad. It doesn't matter how old we get our father will be always our hero and the man to go to when we have any problems, he always knows the right answers.

The work reminisces the ever cultivated and perpetuated GUIDING LIGHT of a loving father that is gone seven years ago but kept forever aglow and unextinguished.

The work earns its texture through the use of rhymes, oxymoron, metaphor and alliteration.

Excellent work! Keep the flag flying!

Hello, it's good you remember your father every year with a poem. Such a lovely thought, which he would appreciate. It is nice for other family members to have them also. I think this year's poem for him is lovely and the star image that you have within the work is a great way of holding his memory close. I noticed no errors and thanks for sharing your poem, and the story contained in your author notes, cheers, Ana.
