To Dad

GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED

AND A CURE WAS NOT TO BE

SO HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU

AND WHISPERED “COME TO ME”

 

WITH TEARFUL EYES I WATCHED

AND SAW YOU PASS AWAY

ALTHOUGH MY ARMS WERE ROUND YOU

I COULD NOT MAKE YOU STAY

 

A GOLDEN HEART STOPPED BEATING

AND NOW YOU’RE LAID TO REST

GOD BROKE MY HEART TO PROVE TO ME

HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST!

Aw, I have tears in my eyes. This is a awesome poem, sad but it's a great write. This makes me want to cry for your loss.

This hits the very depths of my heart. It's something I wish I had read before my depression after my dad passed away. I know it would've helped. (:

owww this poem is really really good. So SUPER DUPER GOOD JOB! Really I felt so much in just those three stanzas. It's something I might read at my grandpas funeral..really I think it's that good.
