O my father, my heart does grieve
for ‘neath the ground thee lie.
And on this day of sadness leave
I stand before and softly cry.

For tears do well and fall before
the foot that stands at thy still feet.
And Now I wish ever and more
that once again I’d feel complete.

For in my chest O father mine
A tightness wells and captures me.
Keeping my wish in wait of thine
to once again live memories.

A question asked does hollow lie
in wait of thee to speak again
A simple breath of why, oh why
was this our Lord’s waiting plan?

And now dear father, O idol most strong
I turn and walk, I bid adieu.
My journey long becomes our song
as roses red now bloom anew...

I love you Dad, I cannot stop...
nor shall I ever try...

I wondered where I was going to spend this beautiful rose ...
now I know it is right here~

Beautiful penning, poet~
