"Smiles Around My Area"

I am honored to participate in a flourishing exercise of "30 in 30". This is a challenge, not a contest, presented to the few willing to take it upon their duties to create thirty poems in thirty days in anyway way, shape, or form, no strenuous and strict rules, starting December 15th, 2009, through January 13th, 2010. (Twitter hashtag #30in30)

Here's #11 of 30 of the "30 in 30" project

i am rethinking my whole approach
wishing that i could have been that father
loving
caring
cradling
helping
her
and so
here i am again
approaching thoughts
being a fatherly wish
hating
scolding
dropping
denying
myself
finally
here i will always be
with wishful thinking
a father of unborn futures
mixed emotions
separated actions
trying to be truthful
with my heart lying amongst pain
doing what's needed
to blanket her soul once again
here...
i am
where
is she?
Hopefully safe, laughing, and in comfort.
