My Father Was Buried

Today is the day, years ago, my Father was buried. Nothing seemed right in the world any longer! I cried, prayed and wished, I were stronger. With grief, I saw his casket carried. ……………… No, no, I so wanted to shout! Do not put him into the dark, deep ground. Where Lord knows what crawls around! I said not a word, but closed my mouth. ………………… I wanted to open the casket and take him out. He was the best Father, that could ever be. He taught me honesty that set me free. But sadly the truth no longer counts! …………… So on this day, Dad, it is no time for poetry. I need family and a few true friends. But I shan’t see them till my life ends. And I shall be magically accepted, again, amicacblly! Till then, Daddy… Panagiota

My tears flowed as I read this wonderful heartfelt piece of your father and those that mean so much to you that you miss, that were so special in your life, that made your life worth living. I feel the same way Pangie when I think of my mom Anais and my father Rene, I miss them Dearly and someday again like you write we will embrace once again. Family is everything and a better love is only from God. This one is a favorite for me, and now to get some tissue and dry my tears. God bless you Pangie

I have written more than one about him, Hope he can see it in some way. He was big on manners -and not being mouthy or fresh to others..in business that really made him a success. He never held back on being fun and affectionate. With mo college degree, je was an immense success in business. Pangie xx

And those out to destroy me, too. It’s very sad. Dad would never believe the world is ugly like now. But he predicted it would be, I did not believe him. He was right on cue. Pangie xx

Welll said Darlene! My Dad was proud of all I did. He was a most generous and fun Father, as well. It was awful to see that casket being swallowed by the earth! You and Tom….like my Mom and Dad..,even though I am older tam each of you. I feel your care. Never once mean or vicious, either of you. What a gift! Both of you are top class, as my parents were Thank you and Tom.xxx Panagiota

A lovely tribute to your father Pangie, the world is never the same when they're gone from us, the only consolation is they have gone to a better place. Tom

Tom, righto you are. They teach us strength give us backbone and of course, that element of love, which is unconditional! They are our connection to familial history…Eddie is named after my father.)). Thank you…Pangie see comments to Darlene, you are included in them!
