I’m okay
Pretty
Convincing
As long as
I’m the one
Asking the question
Moving along
Thru each day
And then
Another
Heart
Inquires
Are you doing okay?
I have asked
It of others
Sincerely
Seeking
The truth
So, even if
The response
Brings tears
As it currently
Does with me
Keep asking
Because it’s okay
To not be okay
And some days
The tears just
Need to fall
My mom and I were recently talking about the sadness and missing my dad. But also that we still have hope for tomorrow. She wisely said tears need to come out. ❤
Yes, indeed. Your mother is a wise woman. Tears do need to come out. Another expression of our heart. Sending blessings to you and your Mom, dear Kelley. ❤️💜🙏🏻

Your tears are an expression of your love for your Dad. Showing them allows others to show their feelings as well. I liked your poem for that reason.
Sending you love to hold you in light.
