Dear dad,
It’s that time again
I wish you were here
Making me laugh
But you’re not
You’re in heaven
I miss you
I hate cancer
It sucks
It took you away
And now you’re never coming back
Every day I want you back
I cry because you’re not here
Can you hear me cry?
I miss you so much
Merry Christmas where ever you are
Love,
Minna

A very touching write Minna. Many of us here have lost someone special, and we lean on each other often.

Welcome to these pages of blue.

seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

Short. Simple. Raw. No frilly words, no organized rhyme or meter. Just pure emotion that seems to carry you over.

this time of year does bring out the memories and the longing for family or loved ones. thats why time is precious and love is special. enjoy what and when you can  so memories of love and happiness fill the hole of emptyness. and one can smile and know they are there are always there

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

That was touching, and it was right to the point. The message is clear, and it really relates to most of us. 'Cause things can never really be so simple... Nice job!

Minna, welcome to Passions.
Your poem is filled with heartfelt passion, an element that is sometimes missing in poetry posts which use flowery words to convey what you did so well with some simple but powerful straight-to-the-heart phrases.

Welcome to Passions. It is a good place to share and express your grief. Done lots of that myself. I am sorry for your loss. Write a bunch more and I'll read.
