He wore his big belly with his cheerful smiles Never had I seen him blow his temper wild As a little girl I used to wrap my tiny palm around his arm As he guided me shopping for stuffs that I be charmed He was everything to me especially when I was nine A God-like figure who was forgiving, merciful and kind Truly a magician he was as he teased me with his good old tricks From little rabbits to candy sticks…things that mum would surely forbid Slowly I took all these away from him as time went on The sweet memories of his beloved girl to hold As I recollect how he looked at me with his lonely eyes It dawned upon me on the efforts I’ve never tried No one was around to bid farewell when he left I prayed the angels were with him as he took his final breath It pained my heart to see him laid there motionless and still I watched him with sorrows, guilt and emotions chilled Nine years later my heart still grieves For a father who once fulfilled so many of my dreams I recall him not only in these sweet remains But also with a memory that is…stained [This message has been edited by cottage (edited 08-17-2001).] |

Oh, Cottage~ This is so sad ... and your sorrow shows~ Nine years is a long time to beat yourself up over something you cannot change, dear. I believe that you can safely know that were he here ... he would not want you to grieve so. Forgive yourself ... I'm certain he has. I offer a hug~ A Big *HUG* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
