The Something

I wrote this after my dad passed away ,it was how I felt at the time and the words that I had in my head .

Once something is here,

you think its going to stay,

you learn to trust, care,

and even believe in that something.

Your heart grows larger

and larger to love that something,

but what we don't understand,

is that if you are given something forever.

And you take care of it,

and love it.

We need to ask ourselves one thing?

How can it be gone today?

Maybe its because that something was a someone.

And like a thing that can go on forever with love,

Its the someone that no matter how much love and care you give them.

They will go away.

This well done. Very good use of something and then explaining it as someone. Very powerful that way. Well constructed and thought out poem.
