Dad Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

Anger was the emotion of the day
Anger that just wouldn’t go away;
For years it tore holes in my heart
Wracked my soul
Nearly ripped me apart.
But time has its way
Of cooling the volcanoes inside;
I came to see a lot of things
Differently with these aging eyes.
It wasn’t just me
Changing through the years;
It was hard to see him through the tears
Of his regrets;
We all have our sorrows come to haunt us
At the end of the day.
So Dad I just wanted to say
I sincerely love and forgive
I know you feel the same way too,
We are ALL just human beings
Doing our limited best
And whatever we are able to do.
