Give me one more chance
My Father
I only had to love you
But I was a fool
Because I never once

If you come back to me
You will make my day

my life is nothing without you
I need somebody
That can cheer me up
When I am feeling down

You say I should smile more often

Yes smile is the best medicine there is
You say I am too serious
Maybe you are right![Profile Photo]()

I never can go back and…Read More![Profile Photo]()

happiness, and the feeling of
self-worth, of being whole
and seen, alive in wonder.
Instead, this day…Read More![Profile Photo]()

Hi Willow, I really appreciate your comment on this poem. I think your are right about the ‘filter’ of how words land with someone. It’s hard at times, even in real, face to face conversation, but here or on any social media website, it’s even harder. And yes, words are powerful and dangerous. It’s one reason I think, that we write poetry. Thank…Read More

I’ve found that more often than not, people translate words through whatever filter they’re currently struggling with. It may not have anything to do with us even. But our words have impact, not always how we meant them, and their responses have an equal impact. Words are powerful and because of that, can be dangerous. Even if unintended. I feel this one
