the hardest thing to do is mourn a fathers passing
when your alzheimers mother is on a rampage
you tell her when she ask what is wrong then she forgets
so i mourn silently as she continues to question
somewhere inside me is now a void
there were many ups and downs in our relationship
i am very headstrong and stubborn and so was he
we carried our fued into our elder years
he was a greatgrandfather and i a grandmother
somewhere inside me is now a void
it is hard to admit to my own immaturity but its true
you never think of death till it happens then its to late
how many years are gone how many treasured moments lost
a daughters pride a fathers pride where is the value
somewhere inside me is now a void
we chose our paths and never reversed gears
when the time came to admit what our hearts speak
and somewhere somehow i released him hes gone
somewhere inside me is now a void

First, let me say that I'm sorry for your loss. I think someone needs to tell you that he knew that you loved him. The same way you know that your children love you and they know you love them. Even when you're not getting along, you still know. God bless: I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. |

I'm so sorry to hear that you father passed away on Christmas Eve. It must be really hard for you to swallow the truth that your father is no longer in Earth... Anyway, the poem touched my heart and it's a good poem. |

As little as my words could possibly mean, I'm so sorry.
On a different note, this was beautiful. I liked the repetition of the line about the void, it lended a certain air of despair, if you will, to it. Nice job.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss!
I too lost a father that I wish I could have had a relationship with. But you are right, even when they die...there's still that void. Please know how sad I am for your and wish I could hold you tight!
This was a very good poem....feelings, with honesty and heart ache inside.
Warm Love,
Lovingcritters

Such a beautifull write.
So sorry for your loss. I'm sure with your mother is ill u feel as tho u've lost them both in a sense.
U have a beautifull heart and it must be hard on u but hang tuff-n-keep the faith. Next month my dad will gone 6 years. Sometimes it seems for ever then at time it only seemed like yersturday.
God will give u his peace that passeth Earthly understanding.
My heart is with u and u do a good thing by writing about your mom's sickness. It will help many people.
God bless u, my friend.
peace, joy, luv, hope,
emy |
