Wish You Were Here Poem by Selam G. Sekuar

Ten months have passed
I`ll never forget the day
Someone came to tell me
That you`d gone away

The heart is the same
Like an open wound
There are days
I don`t utter a sound

Some days the pain is stronger
It makes me sick and weak
I can`t stand this much longer
I just sit here and weep

I have shut my private door
And let no one in
Locking myself in a box
They try, but I won`t give in

You were like a rock
Strong, faithful and true
What worth has my life
Now I don`t have you

I was your second and last born
Daddy`s little girl
I took my own path
But was still part of your world

I was not the best
Guilty of neglect
But you know daddy dearest
I had so much respect

I always loved you
My dad, my star
Now my pain is
To worship you from afar

I love you now
As I did back then
I just hope one day
I will see you again

I am so proud of you
Brave and strong to the end
Now when asked 'how are you? '
There is no need to pretend

I love and miss you so much, sleep well
And take care of all who went before you

Forever in my heart
