MY THOUGHTS OF YOU
The hours that I spend alone are lonely,
It is true but they are always bearable because I think of you.
They can not be the same as when I look into your eyes,
And yet they help to lift my soul and brighten all the skies.
There is no thought or vision that can ever take your place,
Or photograph to substitute for your endearing face.
There is no song as soothing or a memory so sweet,
As just to listen to your voice whenever we may meet.
But there are times when we must part and a dream must do,
And then I gather comfort from my loving thoughts of you.
The end My father, Leon Russell Garrett

Felt sad but comforting when I read it. It’s something that I can definitely relate to.

So lovely! I see his DNA has left an impression on your expression.
When I started writing I didn’t know he ever did.

That reminds me of the death of my mother. I found poetry that my grandmother had written. Never knew she had written later on in her life but glad to know it carried on down the lineage.
I have his writing from the Korean War.

My dad was in the Korean War too. What did that leave you thinking about your dad?
What do you mean?

Like what his experiences were. Did they give you any clues?
I have his journal and poetry, he missed home and was missing someone.
