Xuefeng Pan Poet Verse

To My Father

Should n't I feel so sad, when my father is dead
Should I feel Like others? Clearly knowing their fathers dead

They were truly happy  at each moment  I saw them, 
It seemed that their fathers would not die ever
This made me jealous, felt no funny by too hard to accept

The fact is that everybody dies and everybody is  born with a cry
Cry, cry for appearing and cry for goodbye

Until no seen in nowhere, out of eyesight, 
Left a father  be felt by heart, even without sunlight

Rhona Mcferran September 6, 2018 at 11:22 PM I feel this expresses a common struggle in times of loss: "Shouldn't I feel like others?"... But I've realized- there is no one way to grieve... Relationships are complicated and sometimes it is impossible to make sense of all we feel. I am sorry for your loss. This is a touching and beautiful poem. I love the line "Cry, cry for appear and cry for goodbye". I'd never thought of this before.
