Parallel lines



Dearest Nadine,

The lines I have written that you read between
The lines on the pages
The lines on the screen
Of lines spoken - I say what I mean.
It's parallel lines that will never meet

Ship in the desert
Ships in the night
Ships that pass in the night

Evangeline stream - Evangeline's dream,
It's parallel lines that will never meet.


Love,

THom
Dearest Mum,

I often think of you and all the silly arguements we got into over our love for our daughter.

I wish I had the chance to teach you to change your oil and other things.

There were so many things I wanted to share with you and experience as a family.

I pray in your heart you some day, some how, know that I love you, but your way was exhausting me, when I just wanted to be stable for you and Pau.

I will miss you the rest of my life and I hope you know how wonderful you are and whoever is with you is the luckiest man in the whole wide world.


Alwats,

Pops


Dearest Pau,

Going into the brush or bush.

Palm trees everywhere.

Coconuts are fun.

Just a Man

Dearest Pau,

You can form whatever opinion you want of your old man.

I know the type of father I would have been to you, had I been offered a chance.

Whatever poisin your mum wants to put in your head about me, it does not matter to me.

Your mum can spin things anyways she wants, but please know that in my heart I love you and mum and I always will in this life.

I am just a man, no more and no less, of flesh and blood, who loves your mum and nothing else matters.



Always,

Pops


Pau,

Here are some palm trees by the Sea.

This is where I park my car to keep under the shade when I go swimming.

It would be so nice to swim with you and mum at the beach.



Love,

Pops

Zahab's Birthday cake



Pau,

This is Zahab's birthday cake.

Zahab's mum entertained a whole gang of children, it is a lot of work.

I can imagine your mum having wonderful birthdays for you.



Love,

Pops

Children on Beach



Pau,

Here are some children on the beach outside my place.

It is fun to watch them play here and there.

It is nice to have a home by the Sea.



Love,

Pops
