God Can You Hear Me?

Poem About Father's Fight With Cancer

in Dying Poems

My eyes fill with tears,
And I could hardly see
This cancer is stealing my father
Slowly away from me.

My eyes fill with tears,
And I could hardly see
This cancer is stealing my father
Slowly away from me.

I can't stand to see him suffer,
I pray his pain would go away.
The light inside him fades a little more
With every passing day.

Please give him the courage
To fight a little longer.
I feel so helpless now.
What can I do to help make him stronger?

I can see it in his eyes.
It's like he wants to give in.
Cancer CAN be fought,
But you have to WANNA win.

Can't he see that we need him.
Shouldn't that be enough?
He has to think positive.
I know my dad is tough.

I sit and think and think
Until my head wants to explode
Always the same question: why him?
But the answer is still untold.

I wish by some miracle
His cancer would just disappear
And I could have my father back
And there would be no more fear.

God, can you hear me?
I never ask for much.
Would it be so wrong for me to ask
That you give my dad your special touch?

I'm not asking for money
Or diamonds or even a pearl.
I'm simply asking you to help him fight
Signed: daddy's little girl!

My Wish For This Christmas
- Published: December 2018
Christmas Wishes And Loss Of Loved Ones

in Christmas Poems

Christmas is a happy time for friends and family,
The children are excited as they unwrap presents around the tree.

Carols are sung and lights twinkle in the night.

Christmas is a happy time for friends and family,
The children are excited as they unwrap presents around the tree.

Carols are sung and lights twinkle in the night.
Jack Frost glistens on the windows, and the snow sparkles from the winter moonlight.

Christmas is such a joyous time to appreciate the ones we love.
This Christmas I want to send wishes to those we lost up above.

To some, Christmas is not the same because a loved one passed away,
And the grief is overwhelming each and every day.

When the holidays approach, we miss them even more,
Traditions never feel the same, and memories are all we have left to adore.

We will always remember their name and never forget their faces,
And as long as we keep them in our hearts, they can never be erased.

So this Christmas, my wish is for everyone who is feeling a little blue
To find some peace, joy, and comfort with everything you do.

Christmas isn't just a season; it's a feeling, and the magic never ends.
One of its greatest gifts is to cherish family and friends.

Merry Christmas to all our special angels up above.
Merry Christmas to you all. I send you all my love.

Missing My Dad Poem

in Loss of Father Poems

Your battle is now over; no more tears flowing down your cheek,
no more pain, no more suffering; now you are no longer weak.
I still do not understand why this had to happen to you,
but I am proud to say you are my dad, the greatest man I ever knew.

Your battle is now over; no more tears flowing down your cheek,
no more pain, no more suffering; now you are no longer weak.
I still do not understand why this had to happen to you,
but I am proud to say you are my dad, the greatest man I ever knew.
Although you will not be here to walk me down the aisle,
when that day comes, I know you will be by my side with a smile.
You were always there for me and never once made me cry
until the day you closed your eyes and had to say goodbye.
Now you are my Angel, so spread your wings out wide.
Please wrap them around me whenever you see me cry.
Our time together was memorable, and God took you way too fast,
But the most precious thing to me was your being there for my first breath
and me being there for your last.

Finding Out Dad Is Sick

in Sickness Poems

I heard some bad news today, something that made me scared,
Today I found out my dad has cancer; it was something I had always feared.
I knew many people that passed away because of this evil cell,
Yet I know of some that beat it, and of course turned out well.

I heard some bad news today, something that made me scared,
Today I found out my dad has cancer; it was something I had always feared.
I knew many people that passed away because of this evil cell,
Yet I know of some that beat it, and of course turned out well.
The fact that my dad is sick, just completely blows my mind,
When this poison is inside of him, and the cure they cannot find.
My mom is really upset, and doesn't know what to do,
My sister cries herself to sleep and sometimes I find myself doing it too.
I know I have to be strong, and my prayers are always said,
But the question is: Does anyone really hear me when I'm lying there in bed?
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, that's why I always have hope,
But with each passing day that it's on my mind, I find it really hard to cope.
I promised myself that no matter what, I would stay strong for my dad,
His feelings he does not show really well, but I know that he is sad.
I know our fate is in your hands God, but please have mercy on his soul,
Hold his hand and watch over him, as his treatment he will soon undergo.
Help him through this struggle, as he is precious to me like a pearl,
God, please listen for our prayer's..........signed....daddy's little girl!

Can't Accept That You're Gone

Mourning The Loss Of A Father

in Loss of Father Poems

I hate that I can't see your face,
except for a picture on my mirror.

But I love that when I look at it,

I hate that I can't see your face,
except for a picture on my mirror.

But I love that when I look at it,
I feel you are near.

I hate that you can't speak to me
when I mention the word "DAD."

But I love the way your voice is in my memory
from all the talks we had.

I hate that God took you so soon,
when I still needed you here.

But I love the thought of you at peace,
no more pain and no more fear.

I hate not knowing for sure
what happens when you die.

But I really love to believe
there is a heaven past the sky.

The thing I love to hate the most
is when people think I'm so strong.

But it actually only seems that way because
I can't accept the fact that you really are gone!

Poem About The Anniversary Of Dad's Death

in Loss of Father Poems

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,

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,
But when I go to look for you, I realize you're not here.
My memories of you will never fade, and you are always on my mind.
I wish that there was such a way for the years to just rewind.
I wish I could see you and hear your voice once more.
I wish we could talk and laugh like we did before.
It makes me happy to think of all the good times that we had,
But it breaks my heart to know that's all I have left of you, Dad.
I look at pictures, smell your cologne, and listen to your favorite song.
I know that you were sick, but it just seems so wrong.
As I sit here writing this I realize nothing in life is fair,
And there has not been one day that's gone by that I haven't shed a tear.
As my life moves forward without you, I will imagine you always by my side,
And you will always be in my heart...because in there you're still alive.

First Christmas Without You

Poem About Missing Dad On Christmas

in Christmas Poems

The nights are long and cold; the sun is hardly around.
Christmas time is approaching, and snow will soon cover the ground.
Trees and lights are twinkling; stockings are being hung.
The Christmas spirit is all around as carols are being sung.

The nights are long and cold; the sun is hardly around.
Christmas time is approaching, and snow will soon cover the ground.
Trees and lights are twinkling; stockings are being hung.
The Christmas spirit is all around as carols are being sung.
This year Christmas is not the same, just a yearly memory.
This house is not a home anymore because you are not here with me.
There will be sadness; there will be tears when we wake up on Christmas day,
For this will be the first without you; oh, how I wish heaven was just a mile away.
As we sit around the Christmas tree, emotions will be sad.
Gifts for them, gifts for me, but none of them will say DAD.
All I want for Christmas is to see your smiling face.
I know it cannot happen because you are in a better place.
Please...DAD ring a bell for me on Christmas day
So I will know you got your wings and that you are okay.
I am not looking forward to Christmas, but I know it's something I have to live through.
I hope there is Christmas in heaven, because it is not the same here without you.
