John Winter's Haiku: A Father's Love and Heartfelt Longing 💙

I must do this thing <br />It is what i need for me <br />Why cant you see that <br /> <br />How long must i wait <br />When there is no positive <br />For me to work with <br /> <br />The boy wishes it so <br />The man wishes it so <br />In death they will know <br /> <br />The child yearns for love <br />The father cannot show openly <br />The love disperses <br /> <br />It is done this way <br />The man dictates not teaches <br />The boy will not learn <br /> <br />How can love have limits <br />You either love or you don't <br />Love should change not die <br /> <br />When a heart is broken <br />A part of the soul goes too <br />It can be reborn <br /> <br />The journey starts now <br />It will take time and effort <br />It will not be easy <br /> <br />How do i let go <br />When you are a guide in life <br />Can you ever let go <br /> <br />How much time have you <br />How much longer will it take <br />Is forever to long <br /> <br />What of the young man <br />His guide should not be TV <br />He needs a father near <br /> <br />The young man is crying <br />Don't you be a wimp now son <br />Youths don't show the pain <br /> <br />You need to be tough <br />Get used to it just like me <br />Didn't do me any harm <br /> <br />Do as you are told! <br />Don't say anything or backchat me! <br />Later.... Why won't you talk..? <br /> <br />What do you fear most <br />That life will be empty and void <br />You must fix the hole <br /> <br />Be quiet in this house <br />Your opinion doesn't matter <br />Why do i feel mute? <br /> <br />A big strong man walks <br />But what horrors are inside <br />What of the small boy <br /> <br />A young man feels fear <br />Hide it away don't you show it <br />The man inside dies <br /> <br />Abig strong father <br />Cannot show emotion, why <br />Tell me you love me <br /> <br />Big boys don't cry <br />How do you stop once started <br />Don't start to begin<br /><br />John Winter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hiaku-fathers-love/
