Inner Woman Volume 2

Forgiveness is a forever fix

A beautiful bounty, balm

for heart hurt

Given freely a caress,

an extravagance of love

I sit with my father

so close to his death

the last time I saw him

cuddled together

his arm over my shoulders

my head on his chest

He never knew why

my cold dismay

I never told him what

Turned me this way

Resentment hurt me

far more than it did him

and in the end, we were

once again friends

Father and daughter

united in peace,

sharing a moment

listening to his favorite

concerto

the fire blazing, its warmth

nothing

compared to the rift

I repaired

A whisper

a vow to let anger go

erases the scar,

sweeps out the agony

into the past

The present a gift

I gave to me

Daddy’s little girl

was there again

And in my mind

when the future

seems harsh,

I feel his arms around me

his whisper, his pride

Love you Uschilein

My strong little bear

Your dreams will come true

no matter how big you dare
