One Sad Day

. Fifteen years ago when my father died To the hospital I carried him that ill fated day The staff was caring for him so by his side I could not abide Then very swiftly to surgery he was taken away As I was eating, God spoke to me in spirit and I felt daddy brush as he went away Contest: God, Ghost, and Love Sponsor: Dr. Ram Mehta

Dear Sara, The day before my father died, he kissed my hand - something he had never done before; shortly after his passing - one night while I lie awake in bed in tears, I felt his breath on my hand - the same way it had been the day before he died. God Bless you sweetheart. Many congrats on your BIG WIN, Lainie

Beautiful, Sara. My dad passed on 10 yrs. ago. I was not able to be with him at that moment, but I have experienced many moments, since that night, when I feel his closeness. Funny thing, too...he was always rhyming(usually singing it)! I bet you were such a blessing in your father's life...especially when he needed you most. Congrats on your 10th place win! Ellen

What a remarkable experience, Sara, feeling you father's spirit brush and hearing God speak as he passed away. I'm sure it was hard to write about this event, but your poem is breathtaking! Best wishes in Dr. Ram's contest, dear. Love, Carolyn

It is so difficult to let go a loved one,not just we hold on to their memories but it's like they are always with us,watching us.I lost my younger sister,she was just 15 then.tough...Lots of love and good luck to you,Gautami
