Overwhelming Grief

Contributed by Jeff_Scott_Morehead on Monday, 28th November 2005 @ 07:58:09 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Dad
~~~~~
You went away without much warning
I arrived minutes after you were gone
I rushed to the hospital
In the early morning dawn

A cold day in October
We laid you in the ground
Tears flowed so freely
From everyone around

Now those minutes turned to days
And those days turned into years
When I think back on that moment
My eyes are full of tears

This pain I keep hidden
Deep inside my mind
Has never went away
With the passing of time

I still feel the loss
As I did on that day
And I choke on my words
When I try to convey

So I write down my inner thoughts
It’s my way of trying to deal
With this overwhelming grief
That daily I still feel

Beautiful memory and feelings displayed in this poem. When my father passed away, I had no fond memories until I found out that right before he died he accepted the Lord--now I can't wait to see him again in Heaven!

Yes, I hear you very loud. At any moment God will come to bring us home. He knows how much we love our family and friends, and we must trust they are kept safely within His arms. I each day have to try to keep trusting myself, and it is difficult at times to let go of those that are in His arms. Peace to you my friend... Grief may hang on, and perhaps we will always hurt, we do have precious memories that live on. We are brought closer to God when death or any type of struggle comes about..Raquel Leah :D
