A person, honest,
loving and kind
Save you dear Father
is hard to find;
without your love
there is no way
this life is like
a tragic play.
I pass my time
with no interest,
this world is but
a place of distrust.
No sugar there is,
no salt, no taste,
things are just
an utter waste.
Carefree was I
in your life,
never knew
the pain and strife.
memories are
my only treasure,
in which i seek
my only pleasure.
After you
i lost my Mom
now house looks
like a dismal dome.
May your Home
be really bright
with brilliant,
blissful, heavenly light.
(Amen)
I lost my mother when I was just 16, and then my father when I was 29. A life without ones parents is hard, so I can relate to this. Good write.
The sense of pathos comes out very beautifully and more importantly the innocence in feelings is what makes the poem even more beautiful.
Swimming in the sea of sadness yet with beautiful billows!
May your Home be really bright with brilliant, blissful, heavenly light. (Amen) A beautiful prayer and a great tribute to your father! ! !
memories are my only treasure This is all that a descendant can carry. Nice poem remembering an affectionate father.
A beautiful tribute to your father. I adore your few last lines. I agree amen. lu Shahzia
