21. Dear Pop
Once you had told me
When you were gone
I'd pick up the pieces
I would go on
Once you had told me
When you were gone
I'd pick up the pieces
I would go on

If time exists in heaven,
Do you still rise with the sun?
Do you and Mom share breakfast
Before your day has begun?
This is a wonderful sentimental poem. It depicts a loving relationship between father and child. My father came into my life as an adult and unfortunately we did not get to make many...

My heart changed when you left.
Time froze and I wanted to hide.
It was a moment that will stay with me forever...
the day my Daddy died.
I lost my dad last March in 2016. It will be a year in 2 days. I too had a strained relationship with my dad and had just re-connected before Thanksgiving in 2015, just 2 1/2 months before he...
And he puts his boat in the water for the last time
A tear will fall for the last time
I wipe the tears from my face with your old shirt for the last time
I cry about the last time I said goodbye to you
My dad has cancer and he is probably going to die like my Aunt Rose did. She died of the same thing I've had way to many people die in my life everytime I get to be close to them they die. My...
He's walking towards me surrounded by light
I can't believe this miraculous sight
It can't be him, I know he is dead
But as I look towards him, he's shaking his head
Seven years ago my dad passed away. My son and him were very close. After he passed, my son would get up in the morning and say I saw grandpa last night. I was always a little skeptical. As...
I knew a man, he was the greatest man
I've known in all my days.
Then one day God called on him,
and now he's gone away.
I'm sorry for the very late reply. I hope that you indeed did use my poem for your dad's memorial service. The process of writing this really helped me through my grieving process, and if my...
Dad,
You have been gone one whole year and nothing is the same.
It seems like it was just yesterday that the angels called your name.
Every morning when I wake up, I think it was just a nightmare,
We miss your face; you were taken too soon.
Your beaming smile that lit up the room,
Them cheeky dimples and twinkle in your eye.
We keep asking ourselves why, oh why.
I woke up early many, many times. I just couldn't sleep. I was sitting in my room looking at my dad's picture, wondering why he couldn't be a part of my future. Uncontrolled tears stream down...
Another year has come,
and you're still so far away.
You're always in my heart
each and every day.
It is so hard to lose the one you love. When I am 11 I got lazy to visit my best friend and I asked him that he will be the one to come over my house. When I texted him, he replied that he's...
Forever in my heart,
Always on my mind.
Together again we will be, all in God's time.
Heaven gained another angel the day you left.
I am so sorry for your loss. I was searching for words to add to my father's tribute. My sister sent me this poem. I would like to use it with your permission.
No one can hear my screams
In my thoughts or in my dreams
As I lie here waiting patiently
I wait for the day you come back to me
I lost my father on April 4, 2015. I miss you a lot, Dad!
It was a month ago on a warm spring day,
When you said "Goodbye Sugar" then slowly slipped away.
A giant of a man to which no one could compare,
Handsome and tall with silver gray hair.
It will be 10 years next month that I lost my Dad. I was the middle of the three girls he had. I wasn't his oldest and I wasn't his baby, but he counted on me when I grew up. He knew he could...
Moments before our walk that afternoon,
I realized the path ended too soon.
Not long enough to hold his hand,
this amazing person, this loving man.
I'd tell you about my dad
if only I knew where to start.
No longer here to see me,
but forever in my heart
My darling Dad, you suffered
More than we could bear to see.
"Please let go, Dad; give in.
Your soul then can be free."
Hi Denise,
My father passed November 25, 2017 at 10:28pm. This is exactly the same experience that I had, and he always called me his Baby Girl. Everything you said in here was like a...
Famous Poem
Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
No presents bought, no candles blown; this year you walk on streets of gold,
And it's so much more than the stories you've been told.
The sun is shining on your face,
Today is the day
You've waited for so long.
Oh how we wish this was a dream.
Yesterday you seemed so strong.
I didn't leave you alone, Dad.
I stayed close to your bedside.
I held your hand and talked to you.
You were waiting to join your bride.
The moment I heard the news that day,
My heart sunk and my soul ached.
It just felt so unreal to me.
It couldn't be right; how could it be?
