 Would a poem without words be a poem
Would a song without lyrics be a song
Would a sheet of music without notes be music
Would a father without his children be a father; You say no 
You ceased to be when she took them away 
Away from their laughter and their fears 
From their joy and their sorrow
For you a distant memory
Except for the sorrow -You won't forget 
Will they know that they were in your thoughts Everyday 
Then pushed away -So that you could get up -
Will they understand -That you could no longer be a father -Without them 
Will they know how deeply you yearned -For their touch -
Will they know that they are your poetry 
I,the next love -was a stranger to them -and to their father

      Thank you so much Lisa Isabella, I'm so glad you visit cause \i never know whether my photos will stay put or disappear...PS yesterday I was dismayed when i went to your blog and I couldn't see the photo, Margie assured me it was there she could see it, but I couldn't gosh they can't do that to me...depriving me of your photos and beautiful drawings would really hurt me
