Unused Wish

I miss my dad

I lost my father 5 years

ago on a rainy day in March.

I have tried to carry myself

the best way I know how.

 

The impression of my emotions

have risen and fallen like the

ocean tides. 

 

Total dejection has not

captured my character.

I have harnessed my grief

and released it into the

depths of my dreams. 

 

Far away from normality, but

the realization he is gone will

always be a haunt.

 

If wishes were true and I

happen to stumble upon an

unused one on a rainy day I

would toss it to the sky.

 

I would wish for the rain to

stop and the sun to come

out from behind the clouds

so I could feel the warmth

of his smile shine down on

me…

 

I miss you dad each and

every day.
