Abandoned

an abandoned father sits
by the fire...  looking into
the flames wondering...
his family gone for good
and he is to blame...  his
actions dictated his course
no looking back did he do
and today...  he wonders if
regret should have been shown;
an abandoned father sits
by the fire...  and as he looks
into the flames of his life
sees a plethora of decisions
that could have been made
differently, but understanding
life as he does, he knows they
were all made that way for a 
reason that was justified;
an abandoned  father sits
by the fire...  alone with his
memories and misgivings,
speculating on his future as
he ponders his past and his
father and his father before 
him as the tradition was
passed down from father to
son and the rules of life seem
no longer to be applicable...
but the fire burns on as it 
always has and always will
and we are warmed by it as
we continue the ways that
lead to our random ponderings.
