Not my work, but fully expresses my feelings at the recent passing of my Father.
Dad, when you left to go home to God,
You took a big part of my heart.
I see you and feel you will all that I do.
Will this broken heart ever mend?
I hope that some day I willbe with you again.
For I still cry those tears and
Still want you to hold me and make it better.
Life isn't the same without you here.
The family is pulling apart. Don't they care any more?
Only you could hold it together,
Because you WAS the glue that held us together!
Dad, I love you and miss you so much.
Please watch over Mom, as you have always done,
I know how she misses you,
For I have heard her crying in the night.
I tried to tell her that everything will be alright.

I got a certificate saying that I had won in a poetry contest for
this poem. As I read it now, I can see where it needs improvement.
Please tell me what you think, but be gentle.
