Array ( [sid] => 65705 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Memory Of You [time] => 2004-09-30 19:41:17 [hometext] => i had to write these words down and they came out in this poem so i hope u like it......please please comment!!! [bodytext] => You were meant to be here,
Stay to watch me grow,
Not leave so suddenly,
Never saying goodbye.


I know the illness possessed you,
You fought for so long and yet,
Is it selfish for me to wish,
You could have stayed for longer?


I feel like I've done so much wrong,
Never making you proud,
Disappointed you with my actions,
You can't tell me otherwise.


You left us all behind,
I used to be so angry,
Took it out on myself, all that pain,
Missing you was the only thing I knew.


I cry over the thought of you,
All of us still in mourning,
The things we never did and said,
Constantly playing in my mind.


I've decided now is the time,
I have to say goodbye,
While I'll never forget,
I need you to leave me.
Thinking of you is tearing me apart,
I won't let myself be happy,
While the thought of you remains.


All I ask of you is to be proud,
Of who I am and who I become.
To look out for me from up there,
And I'll miss you dad,
More and more each day. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 313 [topic] => 52 [informant] => unforgiven [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => goodbyepoetry )

If you don't feel you made him proud then, then start achieving that goal now. Trust me, he is watching down on his family. It is never too late to make him proud. It is always hard to lose someone, but losing a parent is difficult. I had a difficult time when I lost my Dad. Just know he is with you and one day you will see him again.
