tough guy
mans man
mean
badass
but with a heart of gold
many mistakes made
regrets?
hard working
provider
lost without the love of his life
he may as well have died when she did
gave up
lost touch
isolation
stopped reading books, became attached to the characters and,
made him sad when he finished
had tears in his eyes when he told me that
alone
his drink, his only friend
his fantastic tales now lost
forever ago
gone.
Peace, Love.

    Could be many Papas,
    such a hard role in life,
    And then to be left behind by Mama, facing it alone,
    trying to be the nurturer,
    feeling incapable.
    That's a cruel deal, Dads should leave this world first.
    God bless and rest both their souls.

    "Hear me, my chiefs!
    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."
