somewhere beyond the pain
by Lisa-Dawn SparlingI can not even express the depth of the sadness that lies within me.
I hold back the tears but I can feel them getting tangled up behind my eyes,
I can't bear the thought of you leaving.
I can not fathom the loss I will feel when I see you take your last breath.
Dad through it all I adore you even the mistakes you've made,
I have learned from watching you and every mistake has made me wiser.
Watching you suffer is killing me. When you decide its time to go I want you to go.
I just want you to be a peace
and somewhere beyond the pain,
is the joy and the love of the experice I have had as your daughter.
I love you. 12/14/2006 Author's Note: my father has been given 4 weeks..

So sorry and those mere words mean so little when we watch loved ones go away whether in death or just because lives have been cut to pieces with the sword of strife. My dad died two days short of the three months they gave him at melanoma diagnosis. All I can offer... There was a book that came into my life at this time and it calmed the storm in my heart. "The God of all comfort" by Hannah Whitall Smith. If you can find it, it really does help. My prayers are with you and your family. |
