Beautiful John. I have a wonderful relationship with my dad and so reading your tribute made me cry at the end. I really felt your loss. I am so sorry.

I intended to convey the POV of an unseen narrator reflecting on their relationship to their father through the various stages of their life. Sorry if that intent didn't come across more clearly. Thankfully, my dad is still alive and well at 83. :)

I appreciate your kind words, Shari. I'm happy you enjoyed the poem. :)
