I don't care that you're about to die,
It won't make me curl up and cry.
People lose parents everyday,
What makes me different anyway?
No-one cares that I love you and need you,
They still insist on taking you away.
While this disease fills your lungs more and more,
Your last breath doesn't seem far away.
I love you so much daddy, if only you knew,
of everything I would do for you,
if it meant you could be here for more time with me,
see my sister grow up, past her sixth birthday.
I would do anything to make it go away,
But what does it matter? What can I do?
Nothing except mourn for you.
I love you Daddy, never forget.
Leave this world without regrets,
you were the greatest person you could ever be,
The one, the only, my Daddy.

Day's you awake and still
by M. L. Kiser
He succumbed to the grip of steel;
cold as a glacier, sharp as a butcher’s blade
and it ate him alive,
like everyone
by Sarah Terzo
The Earth, as it Turns
Sitting beside the blue water
in the bright in ground pool,
I look into your cerulean eyes
a sapphire
