Tears Inside

Accidental Poet



On the outside

I retain my composer

But on the inside

I’m still chasing closure

 

Two years to the day

Since you passed on

However, a wonderful father

I fondly reflect upon

 

You always gave your best

The only way you knew how

I didn’t understand it then

But you know I do now

 

I feel your presence within me

Your love and courage everyday

Giving me strength to carry on

Especially today of all days

 

I’m doing okay dad

Its just that sometimes I need to cry

Because I never told you enough

I love you and why

    The unseen tears have now been recorded in poetry. Well done. One can feel the passion of the family attachment through the words. Best wishes. Soman Ragavan. 27 December, 2023.

      Mark my words my friend .. You are not alone .. My dad passed 10 years ago and I still think of him every day and miss him so .. Neville

        Thanks N. When you spend so many years with him there in your life physically, its hard to get used to him not there. I don't think its something you can ever fully prepare yourself for.

          Such a heart felt tribute to one now gone but missed. Few of us appreciate those close to us until they are gone. Nicely done

            Thank you soren, When you have problems with someone of unresolved issues and the opportunity arises to make your peace, its best to do so. Especially after the person passes, it's time to let go of the issues whatever they were. No good can come from holding onto them.

              Such good words AP, I wish my father was still here but he passed in 1995 one month before his seventieth birthday.

                I feel the same way Andy, but I realized that he's in a better place now and without any pain. Both our dads are in the best place for them. My dad passed at 95 years old 2 years ago. He'd be in worse shape now. But our dads know that we love and miss them.
