Father

You’ve left us in your sleep, and made your way to somewhere new, without a sound you would creep, up to the place with a spot saved for you. We never wished for this day to come, We always wished for you to stay, But with the rising sun, Away, you fade away. The silence was heavier than the tears; A shiver ran through every soul, But they were all gathered here To celebrate you as a whole. A grand celebration: every room was full, It was a party for all, Not a person was dull, It was your own special kind of ball Full of food that you would make for this crowd, But we made it ourselves in your remembrance We enjoyed ourselves and laughed so loud At joyous times we spent in your presence Yes this was after the sadness and dwelling The torture the fracture of hearts splitting The devastation and the yelling But now we are better fitting in controlling our emotions Better in holding in the sadness Everyone is back to focussing on their devotions to life to keep away from the madness that comes with missing you and the memories There will be no more overwhelming decorations in our household with much creativities There will be no more statues from various nations sitting on our shelves to add more appeal to the eye All your unique traits have vanished in the air just like you vanished without a single good bye But it was a gentle way to go in your sleep so we do not dare wish for you to go another way, we must wait until we meet again.
