41. Forever And Always Your Baby
The moment I heard the news that day,
My heart sunk and my soul ached.
It just felt so unreal to me.
It couldn't be right; how could it be?
The moment I heard the news that day,
My heart sunk and my soul ached.
It just felt so unreal to me.
It couldn't be right; how could it be?

No presents bought, no candles blown; this year you walk on streets of gold,
And it's so much more than the stories you've been told.
The sun is shining on your face,

I wrap my mouth to shut in the sound.
I cry so much, so deep, so profound.
I cannot comprehend that you are gone,
Today is the day
You've waited for so long.
Oh how we wish this was a dream.
Yesterday you seemed so strong.
Life can change in a single breath.
Life can be crushed when we are faced with death.
It tears families apart,
I can't believe it's been four years.
It doesn't feel like it's been that long.
I wish you could come home,
But in the sky is where you belong.
I, too, have lost my father, and the void created can never be filled. There are so many things that I feel I should have done for him when he was around, so many things I should have said to...
Fathers, daughters, a timeless bond
Vaster than oceans, tranquil as ponds
My FATHER is gone
I lost my dad 9 months ago now and it is still hard for me to come to terms with the loss. This poem has given me great comfort especially as it is the first Christmas without him.
Another day slips on by
Spent sadly wondering why
If only we could rewind the clanging chimes
From the slowly turning hands of time
