Struck was I
By the sudden thought
Of my fathers love!
Denied so long ago
But there
Re-found.
Like my nose;
Clearly presented
Yet somehow overlooked!
Right there
For the world to see
But
Unseen.
Like a letter not received
Or a cheque not cashed
Sat on the dresser
Unused
Disallowed
Latent
But still potent
Waiting
To be heard
Today
I heard
Listened
And the backlog of father love flowed, deluged
Re-hydrated
Affirmed
And I feel
Alive
