Your My Hero Dad Poem by fred sweetguy

Knife comes out, dark streets with no chatter 'give me your wallet' the only words behind me, feeling something sharp, what less than a robber. The man says no........ the robber runs.
Blood running down, hitting the ground like rain drops, slowly leaving a small river of red going down the nearest drain. A man screaming 'dad' from across the street, running to his dad and barely catching him before his legs give out. The man gently being put on the ground by his son, tears start dropping down his sons face one by one, and one by one they fall on the dads wound as he tries pressing down on it, trying to stop the blood from continuing to flow out. The man just looks at his son and whispers son' I love you and never forget it, I will always be there for you day or night, night or day. I will always be watching you from the skies far up and high, but if you shut your eyes and listen you will hear me talking to you forever in your time. Son I will always be here for you, you know that now. It's time for me to go, please continue going with your life, I love you son never forget as it's the only true feeling I want to be remembered by, This isn't a bye my son, cause never forget... I will always be watching you in the s..k..I..e..s...' The man goes quiet, his breathing slowly goes away, and his heart slowly stopping with every beat that goes by. The son cries harder and louder than before screaming 'dad.'
It's now been weeks and time continues to fly, still I remember about that day and time. I had fallen apart and was losing my mind, all the things that just went so wrong made me blind. I didn't think I would find a way back, sunk very low almost lost and almost died. Then I had a moment, a small moment but worth every dime, if it wasn't for you dad death would have been by my side. I shut my eyes and listened closely believing in your final words and sure enough your promise came nothing close to a lie. I heard you whisper into my ears, your words just entwining into my heart making me cry. I'm sorry I forgot I will never doubt you again and I promise to listen for your words whenever I need to talk to my dad again.
It's now been 2 years since my dad went to the sky, things have really changed now I see with both eyes. I'm no longer alone as I found true love, she loves me for who I am, that man that you raised and always loved. I finally see all that I missed out on before, boy was I blind but you rescued me like always and I can only thank you for that. I know you're in the clouds, and proud of me dad, and I bet your feeling great knowing that you will be an amazing grand dad . I don't know if it's a girl or a boy but I can promise you this I will always talk about you and keep your name well alive. One last thing to say to you dad, I will always love you and talk to you your my hero dad.
