I wondered
If this was going to be the last time.
I wondered if you'd leave
Right before my eyes,
Like Courtney did.
I wondered
If I would see you again,
And I worried that you'd be too weak.
I didn't want to leave you,
But here I am.
And you're still there,
Still holding on
But only holding onto our prayers.
So what happens next?
Will you be here tomorrow?
Will I get to say goodbye,
Or will you leave without me knowing it?
I only want to be with you
Until I know if you're going to be ok.
But I can't.
I want to see you one more time,
Just once,
That's all I ask.
So hold on
And wait for me,
Because I'm here
Waiting to see you
Just one last time.
Daddy, I love you.
And I hope you'll let me say
Goodbye. [comments] => 8 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 39 [informant] => hooray_its_jen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 19 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

That is so sad and I'm sorry that you have to say good-bye...I'm sorry to say that I have no idea what that feels like seeing as though I haven't ever really had a father....But that is a great write for a sad poem...Keep up the good job! I hope you get the chance to say good- bye!

Jenna, thank you for letting me know of this. I did go to the chapel and the minister prayed with me for the recovery of your father. I will continue to pray until I know all is well. Be brave, sweetheart. We are here for you.

Love and big hugs,
Rita

Tears are welled up in my eyes, and this very rarely happens. I'm so sorry for your loss jenna. It is a very emotional and difficult time losing the one you love.

I lost my father, slowly, to small cell lung cancer that ravaged his body quickly..and for the last month, I felt just this way every night... wondering if tonight he would kick up the morphine on his own in a moment in clarity and pain. Your portrait of pain & questioning is so accurate, and touching.. thank you, Jenna! Is something youve experience personally? Or are you channeling/empathizing? It feel like first hand knowledge...if not, I'm amazed!
