27.9.2024 18:09Comment on A father’s unspoken love by nathalieocran<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Such beautiful piece of writing Tata Natalie, this poem offers a poignant reflection on the nature of love and its ability to manifest, even after years of silence. It speaks to the power of patience, understanding, and the realization that love can be present in ways we may not immediately recognize. It left me with a message of acceptance, healing, the importance of vulnerability and freeing oneself from the burdens that restrict emotional expression. Thanks you for this reflective piece of your deeply intimate exploration. I loved reading this!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Dearest, sweetest Natalie, thank you for sharing </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>thanks for sharing Nathalie. It is a beautiful poem and it is very generous . I see the journey you travelled to realize the deep love of your father was always there for you but possibly struggling to express itself. I remember your pain and maybe even sometimes the resentment and regrets - all the mixed feelings after he left and now your self understanding and inner peace are an inspiration to accept love however it comes even when it doesn’t show up when and how we expected it. Thanks again for your generosity in sharing; this will guide me possibly in my own journey</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

25.9.2024 08:18Comment on A father’s unspoken love by GraceI could never really put a finger on what it was,That hindered your ability to express your affection.As if to demonstrate love and tenderness,Would be a distraction from your role as a father. That tenacious timidity that you could never shed,Was the essence of your discreet fatherly presence.Rarely did you hold my hand, rarely did … Continue reading A father’s unspoken love
