I dont think I can handle this I dont think I can say goodbye I dont think I can stop these tears or the memories that flood into my life and leave me feeling so alone I dont think I want to know the odds of if he lasts a day or a year can I put on a smile tell everyone he's alright when my heart is breaking I need strength Lord I need comfort in Your plan but I dont think I can be strong I dont think I can handle this I dont know what to say or how to act knowing my insides want to scream want to rage want to weep I dont think I can explain what he means to me dad but not my father grandpa to my son the man who loved me when the other couldnt dad is not blood it is love he taught me that and You brought him into my life but Lord I dont think I can watch him die. Isaiah 1:18 |

Dear Dana, this is really a heartfelt outcry for help from Above. As you say, He brought him into your life and He never will stop to love you and care for you, He is truly always there. Going through such a painful experience is not easy, but you may find strength in knowing God will never leave you. Beautiful write. Love, Margherita |

Dana, I went back and read some of your archived poetry and your poetry truly truly touched me as a father who's been seperated from his own daughter for some time and, after having said that, this line in your poem I think stood out to me the most... quote: I really belive that this line is very very true and I think that it's such a blessing that you had the opportunity to be loved by this man who you call Dad when your blood father did not show you the love and attention that you were so very very deserving and in need of. Your Dad sounds like a very special man and I do pray for him and for his health and I also pray for you as well that God would hold you ever so near to Himself and Love you in ways that you have never experienced before in Him and help you to be and keep you strong as you face this most difficult time in your's and your Dad's lives. God bless you my poetess friend. -Bob |

I am keeping you in my prayers. It,s hard to loose a parent, especially an adopted one. Do not dismay the lord will give you the strength you need to get through anything. It is a promise in the bible. Hugs Kimberly |
