Dad
Tears are shed
When reality reminds me
That you are fading
I know you wanted to stay for a little while
I know because you told me that you will never leave me
But your heart wanted to rest
I still remember that day
My brother came to my school
And told me that you wanted to see me
And when i got home
Your Body was frozen like an ice
Even though you couldn't hear me
Your heart was still functioning
I went near the bed where you were lying
I just felt a heart beat
A beat that was trying to tell me something
"Son I love you and i will always be there for you"
I touched you
you felt my touch
I know you did
"Because i didn't feel your heart beat after i touched you"
You faded
May your soul continues to rest in peace
