After my dad died I found myself writing lots of poetry about him. It was a great way to deal with the emotions of grief and loss. He was a very soft-spoken men, but he gave the best bear hugs and I know that he is very proud of me. Love you dad!
Father Figure
Always distant, enjoying life from afar,
By Sarah Gratton
Searching for a love that brought you up to par.
Putting your heart and soul up on a shelf,
Keeping struggles to yourself.
So quiet and withdrawn,
Slowly losing your mind till it’s gone.
Before our eyes you disappeared,
And now we wipe away our tears.
We hope that you find peace at last,
In an eternity that crept up too fast.
