Poem Commentary

My father, Lee Chester Jones Sr., died from a massive heart attack on Friday, May 23, 2008. For a year I have grieved.  My father was a man who has never been sick or entered a hospital a day in his life.  When my father died, my whole life stopped.  I'm still here, knowing my father is in heaven walking and talking with God.  For those who have lost a loved one...remember God knows and He cares.  If you are grieving, this too shall pass. Weeping endures for a night but joy comes in the morning.  TAKE OFF YOUR BURDEN AND PUT ON YOUR GARMENT OF PRAISE!!!!!!

Broken but Healed

You left me!  Why I do not know
God spoke to you and said, "Son...it is time to go"
Like a butterfly...you came out of your cocoon and flew away
It was your time to become an angel...you could no longer stay
You lived your life...You paid your dues
Why do I still have internal issues?
You were the one to walk me down the aisle and give me away
Now I have to find someone to fill your space
I hear your laughter but when I look around you're not there
Now all I have is memories and times we shared
Daddy, you would always say "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone"
Not only do I miss you...I AM SO ALONE!
I fight back the tears but I feel them streaming down my face
I ran away with my pain and created my own secret place
There I could grieve and shed endless tears
There I could tell God I'm angry and say how I feel
Please come back! You weren't supposed to die
I'm trying to move on without you in my life
Some days I'm silent...can't find the words to say
I still can't believe God took you away
Though the tears still fall, they will not be my food day and night
The enemy wants me to be depressed but I must fight
There was an ice box where my heart was to be
I allowed God to come and heal me
I know one day we will see each other again
I must stop crying, for this is not good-bye or the end

Thank u Ms Krystle! Loosing my dad was hardest pill to swallow. I'm so glad God took care of me and healed me completely. I'm blessed that this poem has touched u also. 1Luv

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
