"Dad"

One gold framed picture we call "Dad", hangs like a displaced puzzle piece. Among the many faces of family and friends. "Dad" hangs alone from the rust of a soulless nail. Displaying a crisp creased smile, and a set of welcoming brown eyes. A disguise worn only, for a moment of a flash! For he is the invisible man, the invisible man we call "Dad". A meaningless word tossed from our mouths, like one dried shriveled rose. That when touched, pricks thoughts of, What ifs whys and nevers His babies have now grown into beautiful strong women, Now teaching their own babies to be beautiful strong women. No inspirations, or influences from "Dad". Only the empty offers of his smile, with a set of brown eyes. One gold framed picture we call "Dad".
