This is a poem about my dad. He died on January 24, 2010 at 5:24 A.M. I miss him a lot and I am proud to be his son.


Dear agony,
Please let go of me
I have suffered so much
Grief and loss and such
Personal feelings come and soak my fur thin
My heart hath dwelled within this sin
They come at good times and still they hurt
Grinding me mentally until I'm one with dirt
Why did he have to leave so soon?
I feel as if we had not but a moon
One moon we had to enjoy each other
The next we had parted one another
He was an honorable man, indeed he was
He helped the community, just because!
He never once had shirked his work
I still remember his mischievous smirk
There is but one that can be up for blame
Cancer is the disease that caused my shame
I'm sorry that I couldn't be a better son in the time we had
I took it for granted, and for that I am truly sorry, Dad.
I miss you so much and I choose to never forget
I am your son, and that is something I won't ever regret.
