To My Dying Father

Silently you rest In that cold and hard hospital bed Your now muted words are trapped Behind you barren lips Patiently waiting for your turn, You feel the hours and gray days Slowly dying along with you What seemed to be a long trip, Is rapidly becoming shorter by the minute Drown in a reservoir of memories and thoughts You desperately try to re-capture the past But only your legacy will remain Worry don’t be for we will follow your steps And one day we will meet again Only one luggage is ready for you Carrying nothing but your big heart! I wish I could hold your aging hands And tenderly kiss your cheeks But the distance is so cruel That would like to close my teary eyes And be with you in your rainy day But don’t worry my dear father, You are not going to be alone at all For the Lord will be with you I know you are not afraid of dying When your legacy you behind And you will continue to live Forever through my poetry! I love you so much dear father And one day I will see you again!
