Sad but beautiful poem. I like the sadness, the ending and the subtle rhyme.
It should have been a little longer though. ^^

Sunny suggested I read this poem. Nicely done! Sad about father's can make their children miserable because of the things they fear. You have penned that perfectly!!!! And this preaches more forgiveness than anything!!!! Wonderful my Corinne!!!!

Sunny sent this to me as well. This is such a powerful poem. It's so sad yet warming at the same time. This must have been hard to write, I can only imagine this kind of pain and rejection and later even forgiveness. Very beautiful/touching poem...

This truly touches the heart, deep and powerful.

How sad....Alzheimer's robs us of our loved ones....very heartfelt and touching...wishing you the best...

The poem itself is very well written....from beginning to end. Accurately portrays the changes in this awful disease....like the transition from when it was your father's house ruled by him...to when your father now depends on you...

Best of luck...Debbie
