Poem

Losing dad

It had been a bad day but it only got worse
She told me the news and I started to curse
"Why doesn't he just let us be?" I thought
He only makes living more distraught
So I said a little prayer that night
When the moon came out and the stars shined bright
I prayed to please, please let him go
For the man he is I no longer know
I try each day to love and cherish him
But all the good memories and love have scattered to the whims
"All the good things will come back when he's gone" they say
And for this I also hope and pray
Because I don't want to lose the daddy I had
Losing him now is already too sad

Feliciathis poem is beautiful. i lost my dad when i was 12 and in grade 6. he committed suicide in my dooryard when i was in school. losing a father or any loved on at that matter is so completely hard, and hard to overcome.

JessicaI read this poem and started to cry. I read the comments and started to ball. I can't belive how many KIDS have lost there Fathers, including me. I couldn't deal with ANYTHING for a little more Than a year, it was so painful. I am soo sorry to hear about all your Stories. It sucks, I know. Cancer SUCKS.USA5/20/2009 11:48:02 PM
ArielI was 13 when I lost my daddy to cancer. I'm now 14. I remember the 3 am phone call saying he was in the icu becuase of extremily low blood pressure. I couldn't handle what was all happening. It feels like itwas yesterday. I still cry all the time even if it's in school, someone talking about there dads. It's still to much. I miss him soo much. He was my hero, and I loved him. I still can't belive it. He lost his battle to his 4th relaps to lukemia. I spent 3 of my birthdays in a hospital and my 14th bday without him. It was so hard to do. I cried on his shoulder in the hospital bed watching him die. I never thought this would happen. I'm never going to forget him. :.( I love&miss him so much. I hate studing becuase that was something we used to do together. Everything I see reminds me of him. I will NEVER forget you. :( <3Usa4/30/2009 12:42:04 AM

judy novak Beautifully done. very accurately depicts the feelings of someone whose parent has been stricken with cancer, how they change and the mixed feelings that surface from "please don't die" to "please die so I can rememver you the way you were.." USA1/20/2009 3:04:57 AM

Almyssa Dodson This poem means alot to me. Eventhough i did'nt loose my dad did'nt die through death, he did through love. He walked straight out of me and my brothers life. I'm sorry for your loss. United States2/26/2008 12:00:51 AM
KatlynIt was a very good poem Australia11/22/2007 12:35:11 AM
CieraTo be honest I really liked this poem, to me it wasn't about losing a father due to death, it was about a father who has changed completely from what his family has known him to be, and because he has changed he has made decisions to leave the family, not caring who he hurts, he is only worried about "finding himself". Losing a father due to divorce is more like it. I know exactly what the author fealt like when she wrote this. I might as well have written it, but I guarantee that I couldn't get quite like she has.United States10/24/2007 12:55:05 PM
