When I was 10 years old my father went in to the hospital for 325 days. The doctor said that if he lived he would never walk again. Lucky for me he survived and could walk then a year later he suffered 3 severe heart attacks. They can do nothing for him because he is to weak so evey day I watch my father slowly die. When I was 13 I wrote this poem and could never share it but I love you guys. As the piano begins to play she starts yo cry her first brush with death she's too young to understand why There's so many things she needed to say before he was gone there was so many times she should have said she was sorry she knew she was wrong Would he really leave before she got the courage to say goodbye why did it have to be him, why did her father have to die? If she promised to be good would he be allowed to stay can she have one more chance to make him proud before you take him away Can he live his last few hours in peace and have his pain subside this waiting is pure agony tell me,when did you pick him when did you decide Don't you realize I'll have no one to turn to if you take him away from me I can't imagine what life would be like with out him I'm begging you don't you see What will it take to convince you I need him more than you please tell me how to change things tell me what to do If things can't change I won't be angry just help me to be strong,help me not to cry but I have to ask you one more time Lord why MY father,why? |

Rebecca, Welcome to Passions!! Very glad to see you post this one. Excellent writing!! It is hard to sit back and watch the ones you love slowly slip away. My mom died almost 8 years ago and it was an awful time for me. At least it was quick and she did not have to suffer. My heart goes out to you. Take care...

I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to share your poem with us!! I can't even imagine what a horrible time you were going through. It is very well done. ~Kellsue  Reflect upon your present blessings-of which every man has many-not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. ~Charles Dickens We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill |
