    Rewind

    There are days when I still cry
    It seemed to happen fast
    Now you're gone forever and
    I wish it was the past

    I'd like to go back in time
    You're always on my mind
    I want to see you again
    But time cannot rewind

    Sometimes life just isn't fair
    Again I start to cry
    Please God, simply tell me why
    My father had to die

    All that's left are memories
    Which time can slowly fade
    I admit, I questioned God
    Because I felt dismayed

    Who am I to question God
    Even if I feel mad?
    All the prayers that were said
    Still didn't save my dad

    I was sad and frustrated
    I can't go back, he's gone
    What I need is the courage
    To cope and carry on

    Carry on his memory
    Keep up his legacy
    I'll never forget the love
    That he poured out on me

    The best gift he's given me
    Is that I have no shame
    To be Michael Michalas
    And carry his last name

    We all miss you, rest in peace
    You were so good and kind
    Was I flawed to question God?
    Time's not meant to rewind

    beautifully sad piece. I feel for you. well done. -Tonya

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
