i look out the window, feel the breeze

the scent of you awakens me, from my sleep

so far, yet the winds brings it near

what sweet memories we share

alone, we shall share

sunlight, brightens my day

warm, yet powerful to make eyes sway

how would i spend the day with you

when you’re so far away

i hold out a candle, boquet of wildflowers

i sit by the soft green grass

waiting for you

yet i know, nay, just a dream

you’re too far to come by

yet i yearn for a conversation

come by, share some thoughts

where have you been all these while?

see the things you’ve missed so far?

why leave when time’s so young

why leave, when i barely could see

you left with no warning,

gate crashing into heaven’s gate.

could have just held on, at least till now

but, who’s to stop time when it comes

and all i could do,

was to feel your grasp slowly leave

dad, here’s a candle, and some flowers

i picked them on the way

the grass just feels great

better with you beside.

its been a while, but i still talk

knowing that you’re listening,

somewhere, somehow

and i’ll leave now, heaving a slow sigh

how wonderful it would have been

if this beautiful day, we were to see it

together again.

dad…miss ya. some crappy poetry….lost my touch….but hey, its a start!

sigh….do they have internet connection in heaven? hopefully you’re not mad at me dad….just a thought.

cheers…

plain ol crappy poetic joe
