It Was 14 Years Ago Today

Dad
When I came back and you were gone
I believed I was wrong
And began to float

Your warmth was still emanating
You were the first dead I held hands with

At first,
I thought,
I could reach and bring you back

But you were gone
Holding my hand
So away
Yet so close, I held on

On the chance, I could keep you

But you were gone
And I was alone with you

As I saw life look as bleak as when God blots out the sun

Fourteen Years Ago Today

I'll be seeing you, Dad
