Dacotah

A little bit of this & a little bit of that & a few things in between

Why?

Wednesday, 11. July 2007, 04:59:39

A poem I wrote when my dad passed away. The pastor read it at my dad's funeral service.


Why?
Why do I cry when I know he's in no more pain?
I cry because I wish I could of stopped his pain
and made him better.
Why do I cry when I know he's at peace in Heaven?
I cry because I felt helpless, there was nothing I could do
but stand by him and try to comfort him.
Why do I cry when I know he's lived a full life?
I cry because I think of what memories could of been
in the days and years ahead.
Why do I cry when I think of the times we've had together?
I cry because I LOVE this MAN and I MISS him oooh sooo much,
I cry because he is my DAD!!!
DAD, watch over me through the rest of my life and when my life
is through I will again be with you!!!

that is so sweet. I am sure your father will stay with you via the wonderful memories you guys made together. And he is smiling in heaven because he knows he is lucky to have found the love of a daughter like you..

:happy: My dad & I were close. We'd go fishing together, he was my best friend. When he died I felt so alone. My mom is still here,(Thank God) she is 86 yrs old. I love my mom so much too but they say Dad's & daughters are the closest. :D

:lol:

Put me and Dad under one roof an there are fireworks!!

We cant agree on any single thing.. but underlining all that is a deep and intense love that makes us want to be in the same room together always..

I lost my dad when I was very young. He never saw what his son became. He would have been proud of what happened.

This poem resonates with me. I am so glad you wrote it and that you share it. Thanks for that, Dacotah.

PS: I have written poems about my own role as a parent and also poems for others in their parental role. If you or anyone else does not know where they are in my catalog and would like to read any of them please drop me a line and I'll find the link(s) and supply the info.

hitesha, I hope you both respect eachother & tell eachother it's ok to have different opinions & that you love eachother. You can never tell someone you love often enough. Never hurts to say it often, it hurts when you didn't when you had the chance.

By Dacotah, # 13. July 2007, 21:13:19

My dear friend Loku, I am so sorry to hear that you lost your dad when you were young. I am sure he does know what has become you and is proud of you.

You are welcome. I was not sure if I was going to post these two as they have a special meaning to me & it still hurts even though it's been 19 years since my dad passed away.

Loku please post those links here.

Your friend always, Dacotah

Dacotah, you are most gracious. Thanks,I'll get on to that :up:

Thank you my gracious friend :happy:

Hi Dacotah!!

Without a doubt we love each other!! If i was given a choice I would still pick him as my Father.. anyday!! It does not feel NORMAL if we dont differ.. Its just the way we are..


I still know I will NEVER disobey him or do something which hurts him. He has been there for me, without announcing his presence.. I am trying to do the same..

By hitesha, # 14. July 2007, 14:34:24

Hi hitesha,
I know you love eachother. I just meant I hope you tell eachother often "I Love You". :smile:
