My Stand

Before me, concerned eyes stand. Perhaps you’ll someday understand. You say my “bye-bye” sounds bland. Proudest of fathers, wish I could stand. Watching you grow has been grand. Please just hold my dying hand. Don’t forget to pay the band. Before my eyes shadows stand.

Monorhyme poems are not easy to write, but you have done very well here. Reading this reminded me of when I lost my father two years ago. Congratulations on winning in Walayee's contest with this entry.
