Reunited Poem by Angela Wybrow
Reunited
When I received a letter from my Dad,
Saying he didn't want to meet,
I decided to go and confront him.
I wasn't going to admit defeat.
'I told you in my letter not to come.
I thought I made that perfectly clear!
It would never work. I don't even know you, '
Were not the words I'd hoped to hear.
'It's too late, ' he told me.
'You've got your life. I've got mine.'
He was shocked when I told him
I'd lost my Mum in an accident when I was nine.
My brother, Luke, asked me to stay in touch.
He was begging me to stay,
But there seemed nothing between me and Dad,
And I thought it best for me to go away.
When I was small, we went for walks.
It was always Dad's hand I wanted to hold.
It kept me from falling.
It kept me from the cold.
I was sitting in the car ready to leave,
But took one last look out the window.
Dad was stood there. I went to him.
'Don't go, ' he pleaded. 'Please, don't go! '
As he held my hand in his
For the first time in thirty years,
I found it totally impossible
To hold back the flood of tears.
I put my head on his shoulder,
And we held each other tight.
This was the moment I'd dreamed of,
And now I was convinced the moment was right.
The moment was right! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A very emotional poem indeed. Misunderstandings and rigidity leave a lasting impact on relationships, howsoever close. Thanks. And now I was convinced the moment was right.
a nice poem of reconciliation that pulls at the heart strings? ........wonderfully written.
An interesting story of reunion written with clarity of thought and mind, passionate and very heartfelt. Thanks for sharing.
Very touchy and heartwarming poem. For the sake of convenience society had been giving message to block these emotions and many believed and followed that path but this poet's heart knows better.
Very touching! Yet to have made up, it was the right thing to do. A good read, thanks for sharing!
