Thank you soooooo much DIP for this heart touching poem about DAD. I also love it that you reminded us, who still have dads, to make sure that we keep them in mind and spend time with them. I am so horrible about this. I really don't call my dad enough or spend time with him and he is eighty five years old. He is so strong that I sometimes forget that he will not always be around.
Thanks to you, I will call my dad today and I will try to stay in touch better. I really appreciate your poem.

You were blessed to be with him when he died. I was with my grandmother. It was something I'd hoped for--to be there, be the one holding her hand as she left this world for another. Beautiful tribute.

Hello my dear friend, I very much enjoyed reading this beautifully written poem. I can feel a lot of emotions in this that you have expressed very well. I'm sorry for your loss may your father rest in peace. Excellent rhyming scheme in this it's done very soft and subtle. Thank you so much for sharing this you are such a talented writer. With love, Lola

Comment from closetpoetjester
I can be melancholy on this one with you dip because I didn't get to spend as much time with my Dad as I'd liked and he pushed us away and dealt with it privately when he got sick so it was hard to communicate.
Anyway, he was a wonderful father (and still is in my heart) and I'm sure you're Dad is looking down on you thinking of the fine example he's raised and that is probably more like him than he knew.
Great poem.
Sixy for you

Thanks so much P that 6 surely means a lot. My dad died 7 years ago at 92 so he had a good innings.

Comment from trimple
Hello there, Dip
Such a poignant poem to your dear dad. A heartfelt read that reminded me very much of when I sat and watched, hopelessly as my mum died at 54.
Unfortunately, most of us take our parents for granted.
But... they know we love em.
great poem, great read, though very very sad.
Hugs to you, my friend. Ya not alone.
Much love

Don't we all? There are times I wish I had done differently, but alas, my daughters are doing the same to me. This is an excellent message with great ABAB rhyming

Comment from Unspoken94
What a contrast from the other piece I reviewed. I
read all of your posts but these two were so remarkable
when it comes to DIPsony. Some of your best
work is found in your writes about your father. This
one is no exception. Beautifully written and the quality
of the pace and rhyme are excellent. -Bill

Comment from damommy
Bless your heart. Don't beat yourself up. Your dad knew you loved him.
Mine was killed on foot by a drunk driver when he was 56. I was 29. Torment doesn't even cover the feeling I went through. Now this will sound silly, but one night I had a dream. Daddy sat up in his coffin and said, 'Please don't worry about me. I'm fine where I am.' After that, I felt much better. You can say it was my subconscious sending me that dream, but I don't believe it. 8-)

Comment from Heather Knight
It's obvious you loved your dad very much. This is not the first time I hear about him.
Mine also passed away and I miss him terribly. He was only 63 when he died.
Thanks for sharing and don't feel guilty. I'm sure he understood.
