CayCay Godwin Poet Rhyme

Mourning My Dads Death

Blessed was I to be a thread of love sown by you.
Growing up, I was pleased you thought me your twin flair.
Losing you was the worst heart dark I ever knew.
For years, my grief over you seemed too much to bear.

After you died all of nature's colors seemed blue.
The morn you turned breathless my silence screamed aimless.
I prayed a fathomless numbness would mercy brew.
Seeing you die, I ground curled and cried out shameless.

Twenty years have grown beautiful Dad love to view.
I know your image will stay whole in love clear air.
Now, when birds sing on green days made sunshiny new,
I embrace past shared life without feels of despair.

Caren Krutsinger February 28, 2020 at 4:22 PM A beautiful tribute to your father and your love for him CayCay.

Edward Ibeh February 28, 2020 at 1:26 PM Poignant, beautifully written poem, CayCay. I'm so sorry for your loss. Your poem speaks to my soul because I've also lost my father. He passed almost 3 years ago and I still miss him like crazy! I wrote a poem about him recently called "You Never Left". I think that poem will speak to you as well. The pain of loss never goes away, but it's something we learn to live with. Best of luck in Constance's contest! It's a winner in my book:-)

Daniel Turner February 28, 2020 at 11:46 AM It's been a little over 20 years for me too, CayCay, but yet it still seems as if it were only yesterday. I was there when he took his last breath and to this day still get choked up. With his bare hands, he molded and shaped me into who I am today. I've moved on but the past is only one second behind. I guess you can see where your poem took me. Good luck!
