when
my dad looks at me
I
wonder if he sees the adult woman
or
does he still vision the little girl
with
bouncy black curls
the
young girl with life’s journey
still
before her when she did not carry
burdens
of adult responsibilities

He may still see the little girl, but know she can take care of herself now.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder the same thing.
ReplyDeleteProbably a little bit of both. I like this pondering.
ReplyDeleteI think it would depend on the situation. I think in his eyes you might always be his little girl.
ReplyDeleteI heart bouncy black curls and wish I had some of my own.
ReplyDeleteI think he will always see the little girl first...
