The Song In Me

Why take away my Daddy,
Why this pain, why me?

If I could go back in time
I would say to the child
Whose sad face was mine:

But child don’t you remember
How your Daddy loved you, always?
Don’t you remember the happy days?

Child the song of life has never really been away.
It may be stormy outside
But listen and you will find
The ringing symphony
Never-ending, eternity
Your song, inside.

Child let your spirit fly
Soar high
Sing
The melodies that you bring.

Absolutely beautiful, Christy and so very true that there comes a time for all of us when we have to "parent" ourselves. I really enjoyed this and welcome to PoetrySoup!!

Superb write Christy. The pain and the song and the hospitality within was touchy. Great write. Love, Chitra
