A Sonnet

All of my pictures are goneremoved from both sight and mindIt didn't seem to take very longto remove ties meant to strongly bind.

Banished is my face and smilesalmost as if I was never therethe man who was around for the trailsthere to help with love and care.

And just because I left does not meanthat I will never come back to visiteven though this is the end of our dreamDad will always come back to exhibit

one's undying love for the kids, my boysfor they are my treasures, life's truest joys.
