I watch you in your sleep
i touch you heartbroken face and whisper in your ear, "all will be well."
i watch you until morning and as you awake a new day arises
but this is not a day to be rejoicing it is filled with you sorrow and grief
i walk with you wherever you go but you do not see me
the only time i can talk to you is in your sleep
when the fairy tale takes over and though races continuously
but time is stopped for in that moment you and i may be in touch with each others thoughts
my thought are over come by your pain and anguish
i can not tell you to calm down
i cant not help you
i also am very alone
there is no one to talk to no one around me all i see is you and i die a thousand times over when i see you grief for me
please do not grieve for someone who does not feel the grief
grieve for those who have also lost a loved one
i can not stay long i know that soon i will pass over to another world
i will not see you so i must say this now, "i love you and will always wait for you, my dear daughter."
this poem was for my friend paige her dad died when she was in grade 3 and i met her in grade 5 so i thought i would write this for her.. she cried when i read it to her
