my poem ... It's about missing my Dad

[kimiisme]

  I wrote Tom a note asking if it was ok to share a poem I wrote about my Dad on Poetry.com, with a link to the site for votes.  He said "Of course" -  (Yea! )
   My family has made me feel very special over  it - saying I get my writing talents from my Dad. I am pretty humble about my poems but they come from the heart.
   I would like to share the poem with you and ask you to rate it - Thanks for your support and I hope you like it!

Just one moment more

Six years have passed, since you died and went away
Yet, it feels like it happened, only yesterday
I think of you so often, keep you close to my heart
Sometimes I just can't help myself, I still fall apart
It still hurts, all this emptiness, I'll always feel inside
Life will never be the same, can't stand to be alive
Losing my smile, feel it slipping further every day
Lacking is my strength, and my will to make it stay
I wish you could come back to me, to hug and hold me tight
Tell me that you love me, and everything will be alright
Even for a minute or two, would be just fine, you see
That one last hug, would simply mean,
-the return of my smile for me
I wish you could come back to me, even as a ghost,
Just a glance of you, at the foot of my bed,
-is all I'd need at most
Six years have passed, since you died and went away
Want you in my life again...just like yesterday
...Why couldn't my Daddy stay?

Kim,
This is a wonderful poem it brought tears to my eyes. It is exactly how I feel about my dad.

can I rate it 14/10 it truly speaks of hidden depth that is realised by such a devastating loss.
I remember recently saying to my husband that I wished my Dad to come back just for a moment but how I would love it..My husband said how it would scare him silly....but for me it would have been the best!
I have to say Dad has not been back not in sign or wonder...but why come back when you have to say goodbye again. the pain is bad enough the first time I guess x loved the poem

You also have my vote

Very simply you said what we are all saying in our heart to the ones we miss so much and always will, Oh yes if only for just one moment we could hug them

Kind thoughts

   I understand your comment, bucket, about having to say "goodbye" all over again... but the way I see it... I long for that one glance, one hug, etc... it's been so long, and I know his life here is gone forever.... my mom's too.... so there wouldn't be another goodbye, just a bonus, and a wish come true... to hold on to.....
   Thanks for the votes!
It's all for you Dad, I love you!
                            Hugs to all-
