Ten Thousand Worlds

In loving memory of my birth Dad

Ten Thousand Worlds

 

The arctic wind is colder than ever before

Without your presence here to keep me warm

You and I are now separated by ten thousand worlds

That distance has ravaged my core with roaring sandstorms

Sadness wrapped her cloak around my heart

As they lowered you down into the dark

If only I could have seen you one last time

If only I had the chance to say goodbye

Though you’re now on the other side of the divide

You’ll always be right here by my side

 

There’s nothing I wouldn’t give to see your face again

But I know that you’ll be waiting for me at the end

Your memory I will never forget

I love You Dad.  Rest in Peace

Author's Note

My birth dad died a few years ago from Lung Cancer. I hadn't seen him in many years, and didn't get the chance to say goodbye. This is dedicated to him.

Im sorry to hear that. I can feel the sadness of the lost in this poem. I have just lost my step-dad 6 months ago, and lost my grandfather/adopted dad my high school year. I know how you feel and this really hit home because i have been through the same thing and feel the same way. I appreciate you sharing this poem.

Thanks for the review Stephen, I'm sorry to hear about your loss as well.

Ah Dan, this is sweet but at the same time very sad....
At least your Dad died from something like that, My dad didn't want me to be born and I think you get the rest of the story...
Although I do miss the paternal figure, like your poems says: ''Ten thousand worlds dividing us''
Ah supersymmentry....
I do love this poem a lot Dan, I'm really sorry too but you are one great writer and I'm sure that he's happy watching you from heaven

[DoormanDan]

That's horrible! I'm really sorry to hear that you had to go through something like that. You are a great person and writer who didn't deserve something like that. Thanks for reviewing.

IKR! Lizardo is an amazing friend and it's horrible that his dad...you know...
I can't imagine not having Lizardo around to be my friend and reveiw my work:)

[Lizardo]

But always be happy Dan :D! although hes not here, but he is in a better place where he rest, but really rest. So don't worry, we all here back you up man :)

Thanks Lizardo :)

Dan, im so sorry for your loss. I have birth parents that I never met. I dont know where they are or if they are still living... I bet it hurts to lose someone that you love so much but hardly got to meet. This is a wonderful poem. Your dad is probably watching you from Heaven right now. He must be so proud of you. I'm proud of you:)

[DoormanDan]

Thank you so very much for both the review and the really kindhearted words CG. They really made my day. It's very good to know that somebody whom I've never actually met in person cares. Don't give up on finding your birth parents, they might be out there somewhere. I'm sure if you look hard enough, you'll find them someday :)

[Cool Girl]

You're welcome, and thanks:) I do hope to find them after I turn 18 (Im not allowed to know any info until then). I really want to meet my siblings! Hopefully they'll be as nice as you:)

[DoormanDan]

That was the case with me and my parents as well. I wasn't allowed to communicate with my birth dad until I turned 18. I'm sure you'll find your siblings one day :)

[Cool Girl]

I never really talk about it because none of my friends really care. This is why I luv u, Dan (in a sibling sort of way). :)

All right, I knew that you could do it. Along with your songs, write a poem now and then, it will help your writing to grow. This poem is going into my favorites box. Your dad would have loved it..Kathie

[DoormanDan]

Thanks for reviewing it. I'll try to add more regular poems from now on. :)
