Loss of Father Poem

My dad loved me so much and to only be 15 and losing him is so hard. The last thing he said was you'll be here one day is him telling me to take care of myself and the love he gave me.

My Dad Is Gone

Published: August 2008

Sitting on your lap
so sick I am
but not as sick as I never knew you could be

Birthdays fly by
I wish I can have them back
the biggest gift was sitting on your lap

watching you forget things
that you love
from an illness that I wish to destroy
only could you remember
the fight we had
I would apologize time and time again.

Watching you lay there
fading away is so hard
the time has come to tell the doc
As I wait and they tell me you're
off the air support I can only sit and wait

Your are almost gone
to be with your dad and mom.

The last minute with you
I can never forget
the look you gave me and the love it meant
telling you it is ok to go
hearing the alarm go
and screaming come back
as if I never said it's ok.

The day has come listening
to what people have to say
about you will never go away
finally time for putting your urn into the ground.
