Dad, Why You Keep Coming Back? Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

DAD, WHY YOU KEEP COMING BACK?
Melvin Banggollay


Dad, why you keep coming?
I asked whenever I am in slumber
for you are always with me sharing
your memories I can't drawer
in the deepest part of my being
for you'll be in my heart forever.

Dad, I wish you're still here lurking
with you're care so warm and tender
you had been unselfishly sharing
to all of us with your smile of wonder
but this can't be done with magic's sting
Only God can do with his great power.

Dad, I just wish the best of everything
For you while you live there forever
In the company of angels that sing
strong Faith to God you'ved delivered
While you were still on earth breathing
and preaching values as a noble teacher.

God, unto thee I fervently ask your mercy
Take the soul of my Dad in your glory
Make him your teacher to teach humility
a servant to clean your garden of glory
that he will be busy doing his given duty
that he will have no time to always visit me
that I can sleep well till I'll join him oneday.
