Poems From My Youth, Centuries Ago
Daddy, Daddy Why Did You Go
I can not keep up, you walk so fast
my legs so short, you fly on past.
Yes, once I saw your forever smile
and your best-est movie-star style.
I can not keep up, you walk so fast
you promised we would forever last.
My heart is now heavy and so slow
daddy, daddy why did you go?
I can not keep up, your dream flees
daddy, daddy I'm on my knees.
So cold on your funeral day
I cried out and fell down to pray.
Please, can I hold you forever more?
Daddy, as you fade to distant shore.

Note- Written after seeing my friend's son, Dylan, cry his eyes out at his father's funeral. He was about 7 years old...
