I Want To Hold You

The waves of the ocean

Crash against the shore

That's how my heart feels

On this day for sure,

It's been a month

Since my Dad has passed

Yet it feels like yesterday

Still feeling such sadness,

My family still mourning

The loss of him

I would give anything

To have him here with us again,

Will the grieving ever stop

This truly deeply

Deeply hurts a lot,

I don't mean to sound selfish

I know he was suffering real bad

But I can't help it

I just want to hold you Dad.

A very sad poem. My dad passed on to a better place in 1996. Every Friday for 20 years. I called him. Today I wish to call him still. Some pain is good. Can't forget the good people in our life. I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
