Daddy's Hopes
Daddy had hoped to marry me off to
a well placed Mister... who'd take care of his daughter...
But lo and behold...
that was not meant to be...
I turned to the arts and stayed free
to be me...
Archaic strictures are a pain and a bore...
they just hold us back from being
...so much more...

Indeed it was Josh... as you say...
a time for moving on...
to embrace a new reality...
rising with the dawn.
And with it came a steaming heap
of crap to overcome...
For all sorts chose
to define the meaning
of our philosophy...
in the light of their own leaning...
They never did see... Ely

Some of the best poems are some of the shortest poems.
'Daddy's Hope' is a perfect example.

Thank you Snuggles... that's a very nice sentiment indeed...I don't rate a 'perfect' often... hugs, old buddy... can I talk your lovely kitty into delivering those hugs for me?
I hope I was not too much of a disappointment to my Dad... though I suppose the fact that I was supporting myself and my horse, two cats, three goats and a passel of ducks and chickens helped some.
Peace, buddy... Ely
