Gone?

I walk along beside you

each and every day

watching over what you do

listening out for what you say

Advice I try to give it

and yet it goes unheard

It's like I speak but you wont listen

not even to a single word

It's probably the same

for all parents just like me

it's hard to make children listen

it's hard to make them see

It hurts to know you cry at night

as you go off to sleep

to hear my daughter sobbing

to see the tears she weeps

If only you could talk to me

I could help I'm sure you'd find

But instead the words always the same

"Hey Dad, oh, never mind"

But now as you sit in the churchyard

I hear you ask me why

but no more words can you get out

before you start to cry

Why is it I'm so useless

as you sit here all alone

and shed tears at the graveside of...

just who's name is on the stone!

Oh my god it cant be true

please say it isn't so

Is the why that you were asking me

why I had to go?

This has a lot of emotion in it...I can feel the daughters sadness. The ending was great, even though it was sad..but it made a powerful poem.

Great Job
