Some of my earliest memories were riding in a backpack on my father's shoulders. Our family did a lot of camping, and as the youngest child by 6 years, it was up to Dad to carry me till I was big enough to keep up. I absolutely loved being up on Dad's strong shoulders. And throughout the past 58 years he has carried me through every challenge in my life. I discovered this perfect poem years ago and printed it out with a photo of me as a toddler on Dad's shoulders. His dementia & every other medical issue has progressed so that now I'm sitting at his bedside in his last days on hospice, just keeping him company. I read this poem to him & showed him photos of me on his back & also pictures of him walking in the woods with his Dad. He squeezed my hand & tried to smile, while tears poured down my cheeks.
Such a short poem yet so very profound. She spells magic by her words.
Another lovely poem from you - well done. If only life could really be like that...
Very best wishes, Ann.
I sympathize with you. I feel your pain. I have been continually raped ever since I was 3. I also go through it to protect my siblings. I'm so sorry for what you went through. I just wanted you to know I feel the same way about my situation and that your story finally gave me the courage to speak up and save my 6 brothers. Thank You.
