Papa

by Lea Ebio
I remember you from my childhood days
I remember your nice funny jokes and your laughing face
The warmth of your strong hands where no man could replace
and your protective yet caring ways...
The way you made us laugh when grandma preaches us
you make the somber situation turn light and funny
how you scold me and my sister for being enemies
yes you were there to gently reprimand me.
I remember growing up and suddenly I'm drifting far from you
those heart to heart talks and warm hugs I did not realize
you miss them too..
I become a rebel and a blacksheep so...
and that has broke your heart in two.
Time pass and so our destiny changes too
I treated you like a stranger..I never talk to you
we grow apart that's true
but I'm still the main concern in you..
Distance now separates us but death brings me close to you
as I stand weeping besides your casket my heart ripped in two
We are here together again but in miserable ways I could not hug you
I cannot hear your laughter again or your soothing voice
gone were those happy talks left me with no choice
but to linger on those memories, just memories when you were still here
I can never talk to you anymore or see in one corner
Ironic is it that I never tried to reach out to you sooner
and left me here with plenty of regrets and endless what if's because our happy days are permanently over
Oh father my beloved father
Thanks for the lessons and jokes we both once share
and I am so sorry for giving you troubles and being insincere
Thank you for loving us...your memory it lingers
I will miss your loving arms always for death now already took you away from us forever.
Let others and the author know if you liked it
