My Loving Dad

This subject is very very sad,
This is a poem about my dad,
My dad is the greatest most laid back man,
And he means the world to me,
He's the man that has been here since day one,
Even when I'm sad he can make me happy,
Ever since we found out he has cancer,
It's been just non stop questions and no answers,
To me this just isn't fair,
I mean how does he only have a year,
I don't know what I'm going to do when it comes the day,
Where he has to leave and he cant stay,
That will be the day my heart officially breaks,
But this time it wont heal,
There will always be a hole that can never be filled,
I know I'm grown,
But i still need my daddy,
Because no matter what I'm still a big baby,
I'm not ready to go to my parents,
And there be nothing there but his presence,
I'm kind of worried about my mom she's going to be alone,
After that her heart is really going to go cold,
I'm going to try to comfort her the best i can,
But I'm going to have to be extra strong,
Because i don't know how I'm going to react,
Its not going to be very nice,
Because i know I'm going to want to also die,
How am i supposed to live my life,
How am i supposed to raise my child,
I want my dad to be a part of it,
But of course we are to busy worrying about this,
I love you daddy,
Your going to make it I know this...

     My dad passed a couple months later... This is for u daddy... we love you

Sabrina Niday Hansel January 21, 2014 at 12:28 AM So heartbreaking! I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad Jun 18,2013 to Colon Cancer. The loss of a parent isn't easy. Especially when your really close to 1 of them. I struggle everyday with his loss & you can tell in my writing the last few months. And just like the wonderful Miss. Linda said you can soup mail me any time, she has helped me get through many of nights. Take my friend.. Sabrina

Vicky Tsiluma January 11, 2014 at 11:04 PM Poignant poem Jillian! Age does not matter when it comes to losing ones parent - the loss is unprecedented. You've brought out the theme very well - the sadness and the worries of how life will be. You've said it well.

Poet Destroyer A January 2, 2014 at 10:11 PM My dad means everything to me, I lost my mother June 27, 2013.. I am afraid to lose my dad. He's an old man... Like Skat, on the bottom. This is very sad, and I share the same tears, since we are related, and she knows how I feel about my dad... ,, PS... SKAT on the bottom is my younger sister. I'm a very emotional person and poet at times. My heart goes out to you. If you ever want to share words, you can send me soup mail anytime you like... Take Care and good night... LINDA
