'Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes'  
~ Gloria Naylor

xmas 1971 -  me, dad, and my sister...

You knocked on the door

Looking old and dishevelled and
Heavy.
You needed a shave and
Haircut.
You said you missed us.
But you didn't say
'Sorry'.
Maybe you never will.
You walked away with
Shoulders stooped.
I felt sad and
Heavy.
'I miss you too'
I whispered
As you faded out of
View...
