Miss You Dad

It's been years now Still hearing your voice bound Could feel your presence around That last feeble glimpse; The last tender touch; Could not be forgotten forever "Oh, no! it's been 3 years, Still lingering in the past? Could you please stop your boring laments? Are you the only girl in the world who lost her dad? You are so weak. You need to move on and get diverted" While hearing such words from near and dear ones All we did was stop lamenting only to them But deep inside, me and mom still think of you, cry for you, speak about you For, we are alive because of these deeds They say that time will heal everything But here, even the time knows That we smile only when we speak about you And so it hesitates to fade those moments No matter what they say We think of you forever No matter how they feel We speak about you ever But gonna keep it within us As you shouldn't be portrayed as our weakness Cos, you are our power, helping us drive Our strength, helping us breath and survive Dedicated to my dad who left us on July 5 2020

Dear Supraja, I adore your intimate emotional poem. I connect with your beautifully revealing poem so completely, I lost my beloved father on June 10, 2021, and I feel your grieving verse so deeply within my own heart. I’m so sorry for the loss of your precious father. Your last three expressive lines are especially resonate. A deep loving dedication. Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

I can relate to you missing your Dad. I lost my husband of forty years two years ago this month. It is not enough time to grieve. My heart goes out to you and your mother. I am so sorry for your loss. This is a lovely tribute to your father. Blessings to you both. xxoo

"we are alive because of these deeds." Even though I cannot relate to what you're going through, I know that sharing emotions of the heart does help, in many ways. Your thoughts curl gently around me. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
