My father
December 12, 2014
I look into my fathers eyes
but i don't see suprise
i see guilt and sorrow
no question of tomorrow
he was taken from me at an early age
but my eyes hold no rage
my eyes hold relief
as I look at him in disbelief
I tell him it's okay
I know he wanted to stay
I know it's not his fault
now I have cancer in my genes by default
I know he fought as hard as he could
just like any father would
my father was so brave
I just wish he could have been saved

When i was 6 years old my dad passed away due to larnyx cancer and a few months ago i was thinking about what it would feel like if I got to see my dad again. I pictured myself telling him that I wasn't mad and that it was okay and I know he didn't want to go so I decided to write a poem about it.
