WHY

My God, why did you take my father?
Angles took the wrong one - not him - another.

Regret is a feeling that I feel everyday;
You took him from me, and I didn't say -

"I Love You, Dad," in my own way;
Only to hear him say it back to me.

God, why couldn't you just let us be?
He didn't deserve to die;
Didn't deserve to be in pain,
Only to leave me here asking you why -
Night after night when I cry in vain.

dad anyone can add poems but these are my true feelings about you leaving .sometimes i ask why you left so soon and i never got to say goodbye .did you know on the tuesday you were going to go was that why you phoned really to say goodbye . outside im trying to get on with life but inside im dying too.when im alone the tears wont stop.my heart wont stop aching .i never said it often enough but i did love you so much dad. and words cant explain the emptyness i feel knowing i will never get to see you again .dad im trying to be so strong but it aint that easy i feel so close to you when i come to your resting place each day and sit at your grave. love your daughter christine xxxxxxxxx

*♥* *♥* Simply Put. *♥* *♥*

Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
*♥* *♥*
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
*♥* *♥*
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal.
*♥* *♥*
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair.
*♥* *♥*
