Our Father

Your face is hidden from me now

And I am in mourning

I whispered to you daily asking for guidance 

I received a blade to slice out my ravaged and torn memories

But they still linger in the wound

Itching them I still recall my prayer to you

The prayer feels dead but still the itching

I put another quarter in the meter

Time helps and heals

But I hear that familiar song 

When we meet up yonder, we’ll stroll hand in hand again

I see all of you in my heart 

And you are missed

Blue Eyes Cyin In The Rain
For my Father who died yesterday
