No Goodbyes Spoken

It is a memory of my father

A birthday party. 

A little kid who wants friends.

A father,

Wanting to see his kid.

A birthday party,

The kid attends.

A father,

Hurt by not seeing his kid.

A birthday party,

The kid goes home.

A father,

Taking his last breath, 

Wanting to see his kid one last time.

A kid, 

Seeing her father lying in a casket,

Feeling like it was her fault.

A father,

Gone, like the wind.
