[hometext] => This is about a man I knew that died in April 2003. He meant a great deal to me and he will be forever missed.
[bodytext] => Charles VanLaan R.I.P. For the last 23 years you were many wonderful things a caring husband, a loving father, a man with many goals and dreams but even before you met your wife you were a man of so much more you were a soldier, a fighter who survived the Vietnam War You were faced with another battle that lasted almost a year it was painful and rough and times got hard oh how I wish that you were still here But on April 24th of 2003 the Lord took you away Sometimes I miss you so much I burst into tears and wish it hadn't ended this way You fought the cancer for over 9 months I still can't believe that you died My mind is so whacked, I can't even remember the number of nights that I've cried When you needed me the most I know I wasn't there and my reasoning for this I would like to share When the doctors told us how long you had I think my heart skipped a beat I wanted to dive right out of that window and land head first on the street I regret not facing you and hate myself more and more each day I should have sat down and talked to you there were so many things I needed to say I should have tried to comfort you I should have said good-bye But all I did was stand at the window All I could do was cry I want to say I'm sorry for what I'd put you through and everything I did that night or really, everything I didn't do I'll try to remember the good things and block out all of the bad I hope you know how much I miss you and how much I love you, Dad.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
