As The Days Gone By


Monday through Sunday I was waiting for you But you never showed up 364 days passed by, but I’m not counting As The Days Gone By We have known each other for ten years I heard you and mom screaming in the kitchen You seemed mad and left You told me you love me and when I am older I will understand Well I am on the stairs waiting As The Days Gone By Many years passed by I wrote to you and did not answer me back. Many Father’s Days showed up and I never know what to do or give you You have another wife and a new family Well what about me I still waiting As The Days Gone By At the family reunion I meet you You looked surprised to see me You said I’ve grown up I really didn’t wanted to see you I have gotten over you then said you said wanted to see me Well I’m waiting As The Days Gone By Three years passed by You lied to me You said you wanted to see me I guess that will never happen Since I saw you I missed you I want us to be a family Not you and some other people I will be waiting for you As The Days Gone By One day you called unexpectedly We meet somewhere and had a talk You told me why you left and ask for forgiveness I couldn’t forgive you Then you told me you had cancer and you don’t have much time to live Months pass by I saw you on a hospital bed I had came to visit We talked and then I forgave you He said “I love you and I always do” Then in a few hours he died I will be waiting for you..... in heaven As The Days Gone By By: R.T

<p>This poem was absolutely beautiful and I think I almost cried. Thank you so much for sharing this with Power Poetry. My condolences go out to you and your family. I understand it is so hard to forgive family members who have not been there for you, especially a parent who should have been.</p><p>I had watched over the years my dad become a father to other people&#39;s children, while never really being one to me and my sisters simply because he is so far away, can&#39;t afford to be and just drift away from us. So from this I really can relate, and i thank you for putting into words some people just can&#39;t. As well it is also something that is all your own, despite other people being able to relate. It is something that you can learn from and I really hope you have. There is more to this than pain, there was more than you remember about him than the things you remember and as we get older we will start to notice that more and more.</p><p>Thank you so muh for sending this in, and good luck in the contest.<br /><br />Becca.</p>
