Dad Poem by Sandra Martyres
Dad
Dad, we watched you wither away
All of eighty kilos by night and day
The one and only saving grace,
Was your ever smiling face.
While we reached the depths of despair,
You calmly declared that life was not always fair.
Despite the breathlessness and the pain,
Never did you really complain.
You bore it all stoically
Telling us it was but folly
To keep visiting doctors to find a cure
For a fatal illness that you just had to endure.
But we refused to believe -
That eventually we would have to give up and grieve
We continued our search for newer medication
With an even greater sense of determination
Alas! Despite the doctors’ skills and our dedication
You quietly left us in search of a new destination.

Sandra, I'm sure your dad would have been proud of this wonderful tribute to him. Ron
dads are super important and that really hits when people's dads are sick and tell their feelings.(i'm not sure if that make sense) . that was really good
What a lovely tribute for a father. When someone is sick, their bare spirit seems to shine through for the world to see (for better or worse, LOL) and your dad was obviously one of the angels, and I can imagine how much you miss him now. Maybe he is a star out there too, shining his light down over you, a guardian always keeping watch. (smile)

Oh Sandra...how u weave these emotions so heartily...every word is a intense filler of those voids in the aggrieved heart.. +10
