-goodbye Daddy! - Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-GOODBYE DADDY! -

Here I sit
Here at your side.
I wish I could
Just go and hide.

This waiting game
I cannot play
I don't know if
It's night or day.

A youngster still
Of eighty-nine,
Your life with me
I can't define.

But I sit here waiting
For you to die.
I cannot feel,
I cannot Cry

I pace the floor,
I clean and shine,
I hurt so much
I cannot pine.

At last, I hear that
Breath you take.
The one that makes
My heart to break.

It takes so long
for me to smile
And you've been gone
for quite a while.

These feelings that I
once called grief,
Have ebbed into what
is now belief.

You've crossed the vail
to go back home,
No longer this cruel
world to roam.

You now look down
and walk beside,
You're job has changed
To Heavenly Guide.

GoodBye Daddy
I cannot Feel
