Family Death Poem

Desperately wanting just one more day with a deceased loved one. I will always miss you poppa xoxo

One More Day

© Tanya Heasman
Sitting sadly on my bed
Listening to the wild winds blow,
Crying bitterly behind my hair
Trying not to let it show.

Knowing that you won't be back
You left without good-bye's,
Never to mend my broken heart
Letting loose my cries.

Everyday I waited
And everyday I prayed,
Hoping God would leave you here
At least just one more day.

  • That is so sweet it makes me want to cry. I know how you feel and even though I know he's in my heart that does not help the hurt I feel

  • I know how you feel what you wrote in this poem is the same thing I do , nobody takes death like me and I'm so young. His death actually hurts me some times I cant wait to see him until I go by that picture in my room that says "rip uncle tarus love you"
