Beneath In My Heart

Beneath in my heart, behind all my thought
Being then, Dad, you were always my part
Fingers that I held, while passing the road
Freezing to ice cold before I discern you are dead

When the time would never run rearward
I wonder, why one’s mind should?
O’ the days with you, all the hurts I gave you
Floods out my eyes, as your skin turns blue

No one wants an end but everyone finds it in end
I ponder, why lord wend such a trend?
O’ rather he tends to, befriend Him as an end!
Makes all to intend, towards their beloved

Beneath in my heart, behind all my thought
Every then, Dad, you were always my part
Knowing I could hold your hand with my end
I do wipe my tears and watch your eyes closed

Death is so final and painful... The part of this poem that I like best is "Every then, Dad, you were always my part. Knowing I could hold your hand with my end." It shows so much love. You're lucky. Some children have dads too busy to hold their hands. The third verse has a lot of internal rhyme that makes you stop and think about what is being said. Nice write.

A sad, yet so touching tribute. The line "Floods out my eyes, as your skin turns blue" is extremely powerful!

Fathers do little tribute, its nice to know that after death someone still feels love for them. A good poem can ease any sorrow, God bless you.
