Remembering

by Xx Grieving from the inside outxX   Mar 3, 2017


Wind blowing slowly
Sunshine peeking throw the tree’s
The smell of jasmine fills the air

Laying on the soft warm earth
Looking up at the light blue sky
You have never left my mind

My heart aches these days
My soul morns your loss
Remembering the good old days

You teaching me how to ride a bike
You teaching me how to drive
The time when I was 5 when I hit you with my Barbie car
We never laugh so hard
So many memories to many to share

I miss hearing your voice
I miss our walk
I even miss our prep talk
I miss knowing the fact you’ll never know my kids

You would teach them to swim
You would teach them to fish
You would teach them how to drive
You would be there every time
You would be there for

There first step
There first word
There first driving lesson
Take there photo at their prom
Even dancing with them at their wedding
Like you did mine

On your last day on the earth you looked so ready for peace
I healed your hand and told you how much I loved you
Seeing you take your last breath that time and place
I’ll never forget

There way so many word left unsaid
I wanted to tell you how much you meant to me
I hope you knew how much I love you
You always know what to say
But These days I need you the most

But I move on with my life with a little piece of you in my heart
Your never far from my mind
But I wish I could have said goodbye.

I wrote this piece for my grandfather he just wasn't my grandfather but he was my dad / best friend and I miss him everyday

    I presume this is about a parent? Maybe even a sibling? Either way, you draw the reader really well into your world and pain with this piece and it's softly and delicately written throughout, as a poem with this subject matter ought to be.

    Take care and all the best,

    Ben
