Edward Ibeh Poet Sijo

With Heart Still Heavy

"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it"
                                                     Quote _ by E.E. Cummings



Dearest Dad, I've since clawed my way out of the doldrums 
Of grief, since I lost you to heaven moons ago; you'll always be
In my heart and on my mind until I take my last breath.


                     {Lost To Heaven - My Father}
