Papa

I sit alone in a crowded, empty, room
filled full of sorrow, heartache and gloom.
Lots of people saying i'm sorry and hugging,
but Papa my attention you keep tugging.
As you lie there all alone, I realize you're gone,
but your presence are here because I smell your colonge.
As I start to cry I can almost here you say,
" We'll be together again in heaven some sweet day."

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
