Daddy

Topic:
Grief
|
As I sat by your side
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.

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! |
