DEATH Poem: My Father’s Death, by J Hogg

Since my fathers death I cannot write but I’ll try it here
this grief feeling a lot like fear
walking around broken inside
yet where we reside
is out there
so I trudge along with this latest trauma
tight inside my chest
hurt feeling and offense
for now unresolved
making it even harder to hear
what is meant for me now so
I bow
my head often in prayer
hoping an answer lies there
is it you now walking with me Dad?
The constancy of what we had
now gone
my heart broken
I feel your freedom though
and had dreams of your face all aglow
as you gazed with joy at your new untethered future
which made me happy
I will hold that vision and cry my tears
and feel my fears
and love you
forever
til we meet again
