A Poem For My Daddy

I wrote this shortly after losing my dad, to sudden illness called A.R.D.S or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. After battling ards for almost a month they told us he had no activity in his brain, so my brother, step mom and I had to make what to me was one of the hardest decisions of my life to date, and that was to let him go.

This poem tells what I went through during and since that day.

I stood there crying holding your hand
This didn’t go the way I planned

I begged and I pleaded and ask you to stay
as you slowly, quietly slipped away.

I stood there sobbing longing to hear,
“Hey Darlin, How are you? I’m glad your here”

I’ll never hear those words again,
Or see your silly little grin.

Some days I’m angry, some days I cry
Some days I sit and wonder why.

You’d want me Happy, not crying or sad
I’m sorry, I can’t help it I miss you Dad.

Dedicated to my Father, a good man taken way to soon.
