    Father

    My father was not in the telephone book
    in my city ;
    My father was not sleeping with my mother
    at home ;
    My father did not care if I studied the
    piano ;
    My father did not care what
    I did ;
    and I thought my dad was handsom and I loved him and I
    wondered
    why
    he left me alone so much,
    so many years
    in fact, but
    my father
    made me what I am
    a lonely woman
    without a purpose, just as I was
    a lonely child
    without a father . I walked with words, words, and names,
    names. Father was not
    one of my words.
    Father was not
    one of my names.

    Makes-us who we are today--I know that --appreciate-that. s

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
