Goodbye to my dad

Grief

It’s been two years
Since I wrote a poem about my past
Time is very short
And goes by very fast.
I have just received a phone call
From my brother in the USA.
In a fragile voice
He said dad has passed away.
At that moment
I felt my throat swell and eyes begin to tear
I knew this phone call From my brother
Was final and sincere.
Just then
Memories began to flow
We had our problems
But I did not want him to go.
Two days have past
I am feeling a bit confused.
Still thinking of my dad
And of the times I was abused.
Dear Lord please forgive him
As I have forgiven him too.
Please bring him there
To a special place with you.
Daddy if you hear me
From heaven above
Please watch over my children
Whom I know you dearly love.
I am so sorry
That from us you had to go.
I never truly showed you
But there is something you need to know.
You are my Dad
And I am your son
I never meant to hurt you
I only wanted to have fun.
We had our problems
And had to disagree
I had to move away
Only to let you be.
Time has passed on by
And we grow older every day
Those words my brother spoke
I did not want to hear him say.
I love you and miss you
In my heart you will always be.
There will be a lot of memories
In my mind I will always see.
It is the final time
to send my dad my love
I know you can hear me
from heaven up above.
“Good by dad”
Loving you forever.

So sorry for your loss, it's a cliche, I know, but I sincerely mean it, I lost my grandfather earlier this month, and know how much pain death brings with it. You express your pain and goodbye wishes well, all the best,

a great reflective write
Words from your heart, I am sure your dad would be proud of you.
keep his spirit alive by talking about him.
THOUGHTS ARE LIVING THINGS WITH WINGS. I BELIEVE.
WELL WRITTEN.

| My Dad passed away a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I know, only too well, the heartfelt grief you are experiencing. Your poem was a loving tribute. |
