For my dad

Hello forever,

I've lived a beautiful life.

Although it seems forever may have come too soon to those I have left behind, my eternity has come.

My time on earth is done.

Memories are a treasure, 

Tears will fall on the cheeks of my loved ones.

Embraces shared amongst to console your

Broken hearts.

My strong hand, strong body

Grow tired and weary.

Those raindrops, I think 

They were tears of joy from

That homecoming in the sky.

About the Author

I am a mother to teenage boys, happily married to a man that has been with me through so much and by my side through it all. My father passed away 10/07/14 a day that has forever changed me and my family. This my grief journey, I have always almost written him poems whether it be for his birthdays, father's day or just to write him a little something, the most important poem written for my dad was the poem that was to be used in his memorial. These are writings that help me through a certain day, maybe after hearing a certain song that brings back memories or seeing his favorite snack down the chip aisle, stirring up emotion that I try to block.I will forever be his daughter.

I'm Grieving, Now What?
