Thank you once again for the wonderful comment and heart.

You seem to have a way with your words that is antecdotal but in such an eloquent way. It makes your poetry flow beautifuly. Thank you for another great read!!

My mom gave me the boot as a Christmas present this year. She finally after a couple of years was able to bring herself to do it. I wrote this poem so it could always remind me of the last time his boots were walking with me. Those were the boots that he wore as a police officer and the ones that I helped to the jeep that day.
Thank you

Belinda

I am deeply moved and touched by your poem for your Dad. He sounds like he was an incredible man. What a way to honor his memory, by filling his boot with beautiful flowers! A part of our loved ones remains and lives within us. You captured that sentiment very well. This is my favorite of your three poems. Great job!
