MY DAD

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

A finger upon your forehead
A whisper..Dad goodbye
Until we meet again
Now I am free to cry.

I was too young 
To understand your suffering
You were too young to die
That hospital room still haunts
In my memory
In minds eye.

Sometimes I am sentimental
When I think of you again
But find solace in the thought
You are free of pain.

For I love you more 
As the years go by
What more can I say ?
But one thing always remains
Our love grows stronger
Day by day.

    We keep the souls alive of the dead by simply remembering them. Losing a father must be hard. I enjoyed the write a lot.
