Helplessly watched him
Day by day
Growing weaker
Fading away.
Prayed for a miracle
Hoped for a cure
All the while knowing
The end was near.
And people said
When soon the end came
"He's peaceful now
He's out of pain."
My mind acquiesces
But the hardest part
Is explaining that
To my aching heart.
And every day is harder
Than the one before
For each new day
I miss him more..
To lose your dad was a big blow.
But up to heaven he did go.
He will look down upon you every night,
And be so proud of the poems that you write.
Thank you all so much for your kind words.
I lost my dad five months ago and I'm still struggling to come to terms with his death.
Poetry is my catharsis and my new WOLer friends mean a great deal to me, hence my poem 'Perfect Strangers'. Thank you all...
Beautiful heartfelt poem, I hope it is not based on personal grief at this time, if it is I completely understand and am sorry. x
Chrystel,
A sad lament and a Tribute to love. When our hearts ache they do so with genuine feeling. Bless you for these fine words.
