Dad..dear dad

by Butterfly Dance   Mar 11, 2008


A ringing alarm woke me up today,
For three seconds, then my eyes closed again.
The clock is ticking and I'm still dreaming of you my prince charming.
Dad's voice woke me up again.
Looking at the clock with lazy eyes.

Out of the blue; my dad's pic popped into my head,
Heading to the hospital with mom on his side.
My eyes opened wildly and my heart's beat was fast.
I dressed quickly and went outside,
Trying not to tear from what's gonna happen.

It's true that my mom is standing next to you,
But we're all there with our loving hearts,
So dad; be solid, strong like the tree.
The tree that have the strength to bear the pain.

I wish I would've done it instead of you, daddy.
I'll bear the pain if it was in me.
But I can't Stand seeing you in pain at all.
I love you dad with the bottom of my heart.

    Wow. Powerful. This poem gave me goosebumps. I just found out my dad has cancer, so this one hit a bit close to home. Great job. Keep it up.
