    Death of Dad

    . DEATH OF DAD

    WHEN MY DADDY DIED
    I CRIED AND CRIED
    I THOUGHT OH MY GOD
    I THOUGHT MY DADDY WOULD NEVER DIE

    I MOURNED AND I MOURNED
    AND MOURNED AGAIN
    I STILL MOURN TIME AND TIME AGAIN
    WHEN WILL I NOT MOURN AGAIN?
    NEVER, I SUPPOSE
    EVEN WHEN MOURNING HIS DEATH
    IS WITH THE RESURRECTION OF HIS FLESH ?

    I HAVE LEARNED TO CALL HIM MY EARTHLY FATHER
    BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD A HEAVENLY FATHER
    ONE WHO HAS BLESSED ME ALL MY LIFE
    HAS FREED ME FROM YET DEATH AND STRIFE
    AND WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS ME
    WITH THE ABILITY
    TO MOURN THE DEATH OF DAD I PRAY
    NOT WITH ANYTHING BAD I PRAY, I PRAY
    NOT IN VAIN OR FILLED WITH PAIN TODAY
    ABOUT THE DEATH OF MY DAD: I PRAY. (BY Brenda.G.Radford.)(C)2008

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
