Silence ... deep ... overwhelming silence Your arduous journey ... - with fire and sulfur A hand to hold Words for comfort A cold cloth on your forehead Moisten your mouth - wipe your tears I will follow you to the gate - but you must go in alone The sleep of death Where your soul has now returned ... bottomless sorrow - at the deathbed I whispered goodbye ... "I love you a lot" R.I.P. Dad Born 1934 - died 2020 09/01/2020 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Liked your poem. It was beautiful and poignant. My Dad passed away in May of 2011. I miss him a lot and write many a poem about him. He's always with me somehow. Celine Rose Mariotti

Sunshine Smile, and Dear Friend Anne-Lise, I host both parents, a brother who was younger than I, and a spouse. The joy, peace, and comfort that I have is solely based on my relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray that you will find this same peace. Your poem is a comfort to me as I reflect on the good times I shared with them.

I shed a tear with you. He was very lucky to have you by his side. His daughter's love is a testimony to his being a wonderful father. Keep writing, if that helps with the grieving process - it did for me. Sincere thanks for sharing, Anne-Lise. Big comforting hugs ~ John

Sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear of your father's passing. At times like this, words cannot fully express our sympathy. When my Dad died, all his children and some of his grandchildren were there, but we do pass to the next world alone. That seems to be the scariest part. I can tell how much you love him, Sunshine. A beautiful tribute to your father! Love, carolyn
