 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Knowing little can change


Fathers day approaches,
much like last year I sit alone
knowing that little can change
knowing those that I am a father to
also sit alone without their father
to love them
to protect them
to be all that I could ever be for them
but an ocean of time, tears and disappointment
separates each from one another
I wish so often that I could have been better
been wiser
been able to be the father I dreamed to be
but I am here two thousand miles from my children
and as fathers day approaches
I sit here alone
knowing that little can change…
