No words can ever say things that make u feel better, just want to say i am very sorry that you lost his company in this life ... just to hope that god will really keep him in his heart .... and may you find some happiness knowing that he finished his dance ... leaving behind a great person like you , and the rest of your family , he will never die he will live in you for ever ... god bless u and bless him dear :)

May I first of all offer my condolances to you..

Goodbye Papa

As you lie there
silently, asleep it seems
I see the journey
written on your face
Hedonist without compare
with so much stories to share.

Gone..

after a short, but fierce fight
Partying on, I am sure, with delight
with the ones that await you
in the land without time.

It's all I can offer in way of critique...I just thing by separating the two stanzas with the word gone it lets the reader breath and take noet in between? Your first stanza is obviously about his passing but the second gives hope about his future in the afterworld...hope this makes sense to you...?

Oh my God, Ingrid... my deep condolences to you. I am sure he is comfortable now up there. That is a heartwrenching piece, flowing good, from your heart, it sounds... Beautiful.

Ingrid, I have lost my father too in 11/8...my consolations, sweetheart. This piece made me tear so awfully...

RIP

A beautiful dedication to your father ingrid... it just brought tears in my eyes... I have just nothing after reading this because I saw your emotions truly spread across the poem and your father is indeed resting in peace dear with all our prayers covering him with happiness all around...

My condolences to you Ingrid. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.

There are no fair words to describe how touching this poem is, it's beautiful. Beautifully sad, though.

I've missed you and your writings a lot.
Take care of the world after him Ingrid, he would want you to do that =)

Write on~

Ingrid I'm so sorry for your loss.....this was a beautiful and so simple tribute. Each word just got the heartstring. Take care...

Sorry, just noticed this one. My condolences for your loss. Tough to see one's loved one leave the world. Beautifully written, sad but one you will always cherish.

What a lovely tribute to your father, beautifully crafted in a poetry form. I'm sure your dad would have be delighted to hear you read this from the heaven above. You've painted such a delicate farewell for him, it's neither sad nor happiness in it but instead I feel that this poem is about accepting one's death rather than grieve over it.
A nice way to stir the soul.

Take care
*Hugs*
