Wherever I go in space and time,
Or beyond the realms of solidity;
On journeys across the wilds and wastes
Or over the eternal sea –
I recall your words, so long ago,
To comfort, reassure and hold -
I’ll be with you,
Wherever you are,
Forever,
Far apart though we may be.
M,
I don’t know much about your relationship with your father but your strong bonding is apparent in this piece. His positive influence in you as a person lives on, his words are alive, his voice echoes in your heart forever. I didn’t have a good relationship with my father. He never gave me a chance. He always thought I’m not good enough and I’m forever yearning for his approval, that I didn’t get until this time. This is one of the reasons for my fear of failure. I don’t want to give my father a reason to tell me he’s right after all that I would never go far. I’m over achieving because I want to prove him wrong.
But I think it did me good, but maybe that’s also the reason for his unhappiness knowing that he is wrong. It’s complicated but that’s my relationship with my father.
I love this poem. It gives me a better perspective of a father figure I’ve always wanted but never had.
I’m having trouble with the electricity in my apartment. There was a storm last night here and power is off. My laptop’s battery is low already. I’ll comeback to read your other new posts.
Until then.
I wish you well.
