Poetry: Death of a parent

by Kathleen Sihock

Created on: November 20, 2009

My Mommy is upset I can tell

She lost her Daddy, he wasn't well

He could not wait for me to be born

Only three months to go

I guess it was too long.

I wanted to meet my Grandpa so very bad

And see him smile, and hear him laugh

I guess that wasn't meant to be..

I heard Mom say he could not wait

to see my little smiling face.

I'm sure he would have been so proud

to see his new Grandson, but I guess

it won't be now.

I wish my Mommy wasn't so sad

It makes me feel really bad

I can hear her crying, and feel her pain

He must have been a very good man.

So, when I am born I hope I will be

The kind of boy my Grandpa wanted me

to be.
