Well, you are the first and second one here to reduce me to tears. You express so much in so few words. I see my own life in your words. I think balance and healthy perspective can be a hard sell. Not as alluring as doom and destruction.
Such a great picture of family continuing in guidance and comfort through generations. You’re clearly on a wonderful journey as a son, a husband, a father, and a writer. Love it man.
I love how I'm certain your relationship with your father was different than mine with mine. The same for our children. Yet I could see you in these words as well as myself.
This is the kind of poem that makes you stop and breathe in the goodness of life. Makes you reminisce, hope, and feel gratitude all at the same time. Beautiful, Ricardo!!
