Sad MemoryA Poem by Gerhardus Retief
So I carve down about us again
I really miss you where ever you are But I'm still keeping strong through the hollow home Just like you said I should I taught myself to swim through so many tides But I wanted you to teach me yourself I pray for you everyday no matter where you are I look through these photos of us too Sometimes I cry when seeing them so silent there I even ate your favorite food today Every night I stand outside waiting for falling stars Just waiting for the right one to wish you back here So that we can do what we used to do together I still hear your soothing voice every time I think back Sometimes I think your not coming back But Ill never give up hoping even with these tears When they come I find it hard to breath on my own I read the Bible everyday just like you wanted me to I hope the darkness wont cover me you warned me about I'm writing this letter with that pen you gave me when you were here I know you remember me even if you didn't take it with you My soul will never go cold as long as I have these memories They always slowly recall my mind I don't like this world I'm living in at the moment But its the only one I have At least its in one full of promises Some of them had to be broken but I'll always keep mine I'll send my love for you every second of the day I hope you don't get mad at me for that Now the time has come for me to say goodbye Even though I'm standing on a mountain, Releasing this letter into the air hoping it will reach your mind Even though your not here your the best parents ever © 2011 Gerhardus Retief |
