Dad
Dad
You went away without much warning
I arrived minutes after you were gone
I rushed to the hospital
In the early morning dawn
A cold day in October
We laid you in the ground
Tears flowed so freely
From everyone around
Now those minutes turned to days
And those days turned into years
When I think back on that moment
My eyes are full of tears
This pain I keep hidden
Deep inside my mind
Has never went away
With the passing of time
I still feel the loss
As I did on that day
And I choke on my words
When I try to convey
So I write down my inner thoughts
It’s my way of trying to deal
With this overwhelming grief
That daily I still feel
