Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Missing Father

The bench where we sat and talked is still there,
and when I am missing you I go sit to weep;
"take care of my dad, God," is my prayer,
for he has left for his eternal sleep.

Gregory Richard Barden December 19, 2019 at 1:08 AM This is lovely, Constance ... I lost my dad the 27th of October, and I still expect him to come home ... I heard him clear his throat the other night and went out into the hall - nothing there, until my mom stuck her head from the kitchen, "Was that you? It sounded like your father" she asked, I told her I had not made a sound, but that I'd heard it, too, quite clearly. Even stranger things have happened, (with his ashes). I'm really NOT getting my head around him being gone. Thanks for sharing. Constance La France December 19, 2019 at 5:06 PM Greg, I know what you mean, after my Dad passed away, I saw him everywhere, heard his voice and felt his hand stroking my hair, he still comes sometimes... I know some may not understand this but I know you will ~
