Dad Gained His Angel Wings

Dad Gained His Angel Wings

On the 29th of October
My life it changed for good
Not in the way that I had hoped
Or in a way it even should

My dad he gained his angel wings
It should not have been this way
Dad wasn’t supposed to leave us
I lost a piece of my heart that day

I keep hoping that it’s a cruel dream
And one day I’ll wake and see
Him walking down the stairs again
Asking for yet another cup of tea

It’s been a month since dad was taken
There aren’t enough words to say
How much we love and miss him
I think of him every single day

I only have my memories
Which I hold close to my heart
But the thought of never seeing dad
Is quietly tearing me apart


(Love you always dad)
                     
                                                J L Preston (2019)

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.

Such a loving, lovely description of your father's passing,... and such a tender tribute to a father clearly beloved. A credit to both of you, Julie. Lovely penned! May the new year bring only additions; no subtractions. ~ Gershon
