Almost There, Almost You

Casey and I sat with you today,
As she sang a song I looked to the sky,
You were up in the stars, in a way,
It all made me want to cry,
As we sat on the grave and cried together,
Somehow I knew you were there,
I didn’t want to go home, never,
It all kind of gave me a scare,
As she started to sing a star came out,
The first star of the night,
I knew it was you with no doubt,
It was such a beautiful sight,
The North Star glowed brighter today,
For I know that it was you,
I told you everything I had to say,
As I stared into the night of blue,
It brought peace that night to me,
Knowing that you were aware,
That everything you could see,
So then I wasn’t so scared,
Thanks for watching over me dad,
And for watching over Casey too,
Your girls love you but we’re still sad,
So here’s a message: We all love you!!!
------- Author's Notes -------
The other night my sister and I went to the cemetary to visit my dad. Casey was playing guitar and singing as I sat and cried. I was crying because I missed my dad and wanted to see him, as I cried I looked to the sky. As I looked up I saw the first star of the night. It was shining brighter and brighter as my sister sang. I just knew it was my dad, I had that feeling deep inside my soul. So I came home and wrote this poem... |
