Lately I have been talking about a lot of things with a very good friend, and because she is so easy to talk to, I have opened my heart and my feelings, and put them out on display. It is unusual for me, but for some reason, I find that I can talk to her like no other. In my opinion, we have connected on a very special level, and I have opened up about things that I have kept hidden for so very long.
In doing so, I find myself feeling things I have blocked away, and although some of it is very painful, it is sort of cathartic in a way too. For that I am eternally grateful to her.
One of the things that I have been feeling lately is the pain I have buried deep down inside me, with the deaths of my parents. In sort of coming to some kind of terms with this....a poem, that expresses how I feel........
A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.
An empty house, An empty chair,
A fathers love, No longer there.
A broken heart, Tear filled eye,
Another soul to fill the sky.
Many memories in my mind,
Sometimes I laugh, Sometimes I cry.
The times we shared, The laughs we had,
Things I miss when I think of you Dad.
Realizing that's all I have to hold on to,
Only memories, Of what once was you.
Missing your laugh, that I will never again hear.
That is the reality that fills me with fear.
No more smile upon your face,
No more warmth of your embrace.
The last hug, The last kiss,
Leaves me with one last wish...
To have you Dad, here today,
Never to leave your Daughter this way.
A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss,
A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!
Till Next Time,
