You Showed Me How ~ Photo by Dave Banks

You gave me life
you showed me how
to
live life
exist in a world
that
sometimes wears a scowl
You didn’t accept the mundane, the trivial
you shot for the heights
you tried, you did it 
then
you showed me how.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts of your Dad. I know that he must have loved you, just as you loved him.

      Thanks Eternity, 🫶🏻
      I loved him. Only wish I’d told him so many, many more times than I did.

        I understand what you are saying. I don’t know if my father ever said that he loved me, even though I knew that he did,

        I feel they showed that they loved in many ways not just in saying ‘I Love You’.

      Thank you Beth 💖
      Today was the day that he passed and I wanted to share how much he gave me, guided me and showed me. I wish he could have stayed a little longer 🫶🏻
