    Poem Commentary

    This I wrote one day when I was thinking about my father who had taken his own life in 1991.  I still feel a hurt for what he did to our family and sometimes feel that I will never forgive him.

    Would You?
    If I died today, would you remember me tomorrow?
    If I died today, would you be in sorrow?
    If I died today, would you even care?
    If I died today, would you ask how or where?
    If I died today, would my happiness stick?
    If I died today, would it make you sick?
    If I died today, would it make you cry?
    If I died today, would you ever say goodbye?
    If I died today, would you go on with your life?
    If I died today, would you find a new wife?
    If I died today, would you still love me in the end?

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
