Poem Commentary

Written on the beach at Sycamore Cove in Malibu, CA, where I had asked my wife to marry me on July 5, 2003.

I wrote this: June 21, 2009 "Fathers Day"

Recovery

On Fathers Day at Sycamore Cove on the beach where it all began,

I remember getting down on my knee and placing the ring on her hand.

Now I’m writing things that drench my eyes like goblets of drizzled rain.

For I know that it will help complete the grief, the grief without the pain.

A warning to all my readers as far as I can tell.

This might cause you to believe, It’s not a very hard sell.

Do I want to complete this grief that rules within my heart?

Or is the pain all to familiar that I’d never want to part?

Though I know “the kingdom is within you”, and I know this to be true.

My heart still aches with sorrow, with sadness that still turns blue.

But blessings of being presented without wrinkle, blemish, or stain,

Is like this Grief Recovery, where I can overcome the pain.

What is this recovery, is it a noun or a verb?

Or grieving whole with out the myths, and things that do dis-S.T.E.R.B.

My daughter watches me and sees the days that I live.

Will I be a good example? Is this what I want to give?

And though my wife said I could re-marry, I’m relieved I cannot lie.

It’ makes it easier for us to part and say,

“Goodbye Honey, Goodbye!”

Thank God this goodbye is only temporary. The love you shared under God will deliver you together again when He returns for His children. She will be there...shining...to meet you in the air... MSV

Thank you so much for the encouragement. Sometimes I long to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. But I believe that God has more in store for me and my daughter.

Your wife will be very glad to see your wonderful smile. Your daughter will likewise be very happy to see your wonderful smile. Your wife and the love both of you have shared are so wonderful. Nevertheless, life has to continue with a bright new life. Remembering her, but never forgetting. Indeed, I wish you all the best and happiness. This is a very nice write. Filled with so much love and sincerity.

Such a sad but beautiful good bye. Your heart is truely pained. And I am sure you have heard all the sayings. "time heals all wounds", in time it will get easier" and "You will find someone else someday" Yet none of those words can fill the void that is in your heart. That place will belong to her forevermore. If some day you find your pain lighter, the kindness you give to others and your sweet daughter, will be the healing bond for your heart. I loved reading this and I hope you will ad me to your list of friends.

absolutely excellent and touching! The best to you that life has to offer my friend!

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
