Image result for cold breath

~ For Dad ~ Though warm your final breath Kissed soft, my cheek in death Thru depths that stretch belief Are grown my wounds of grief They weep as blood from veins Yet bruised, this heart remains And that soft breath, now old Has turned my world ... e'er cold. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Alexandrine - Modified" Poetry Contest, Dear Heart, Judge & Sponsor.
