Frosted flakes in that window pane,
Sturdy stems of evergreens,
Wind swept shadow in my window glass,
Peeping softly, and as silent
As my beating heart...that is my dad, visiting :)
Dad passed away 19 years ago at this time at the dawn of a new coming year. Instead of celebrations we were in our darkest hours then. Same time every year and every birthday of his, even what place or where I am, driving or what not, my tears start to roll down like a river of dropping rain...as I remember him. So gentle and so kind of a man. He was the one who told me to always "smile" no matter what and at any given time. But not on this occassion for I simply can't...
