## *May this post bring him light and peace, on the other side. And may his living relations find comfort and joy by this piece. May all your dreams be mysterious, and wondrous, and full of stories...* # ![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/n8z4Wxu.jpg) # Father ### [Original Poem by Robyn Eggs] 1 Rain falls from Father's face Pain ripples 'round And I'd give anything to erase The years upon his face And his heavy trod, upon the ground 2 Rain falls from Father's face Feeds the ground And life springs with grace Its body decked with lace And joy draped 'round 3 Wind blows through Father's hair Tangling him, distorting the world Causing him to wear Causing him to tear And fear unfurled 4 Wind blows through Father's hair Blowing away his sorrow Taking away all care Stripping all evil bare And blowing woes, into the 'morrow 5 Snow drapes Father's head Freezing him through and through Rendering him cold and dead Weighing him down like lead And drowning him in its sloe 6 Snow drapes Father's head Covering him in purity Healing his wounds of red Wetting the body, which bled And blending him for security END ![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/JbzAiLU.jpg) *Dedicated to all of us who have lost Fathers, Mothers, children, spouses, or anyone near and dear...* ![Dad 1957](http://i.imgur.com/C7s4DKz.jpg) ![Dad 1957](http://i.imgur.com/jyeCXJz.jpg) That's my Dad, on the left. He joined the Navy right away, and set off for a whirlwind of adventure that would make for many, epic stories to come. He was in the Korean War.

He had led the majority of his life, before I was even born. I had always wondered, what that might have felt like, or looked like, or been.* ___ # Follow me @robyneggs for more enlightening content, daily! ___ ![Imgur](http://i.imgur.com/hhvyZxm.jpg) ### *Photo by @nebcat* ### [Robyn Eggs Website](http://robyneggs.wixsite.com/robyneggsartphotos) ### [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/RobynArtEggs) ### *Chat - robyn.eggs* ![RobynEggs Logo](http://i.imgur.com/Vya1h75.jpg)
