Sitting in your red chair,

extra strong mints half opened,

you completed the crossword.

with your usual care.

Curious, my questions were

rarely thought through.

Dad, what did you do?

When you were a soldier.

Yet you never complained,

questions answered with care,

with your usual flair,

My dad, so proud of you.

  4. Diana, this poem feels warm and deeply heartfelt. The personal connection shines through beautifully, making it both tender and relatable.

    By the way, I noticed the link you typed into Mister Linky was the wrong URL (and I fixed it for you). Your original link pointed to the WordPress dashboard instead of the blog post itself. When sharing, it’s best to copy-paste the link directly from the blog (outside the WordPress Reader). 😊

    Much love,
    David
