To Dad

To Dad

A Poem by JanieB

GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED

AND A CURE WAS NOT TO BE

SO HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU

AND WHISPERED “COME TO ME”

 

WITH TEARFUL EYES I WATCHED

AND SAW YOU PASS AWAY

ALTHOUGH MY ARMS WERE ROUND YOU

I COULD NOT MAKE YOU STAY

 

A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING

AND NOW YOU’RE LAID TO REST

GOD BROKE MY HEART TO PROVE TO ME

HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST!

This hits the very depths of my heart. It's something I wish I had read before my depression after my dad passed away. I know it would've helped. (:

owww this poem is really really good. So SUPER DUPER GOOD JOB! Really I felt so much in just those three stanzas. It's something I might read at my grandpas funeral..really I think it's that good.
