If I just turn back the hands of time--

I still suffer from the distance
so you have now gone very far away..
I know you walked with all confidence,
the day Angels gathered in heaven
as God awaits you to rest in peace..
You were just another
beautiful soul filling up the sky..
Years keep flying by
but your memories will always stay..
Some make me laugh, some make me cry..
If I just can turn back the hands of time
to hear your deep voice one more time..
Days are gone ..you are no more here
but I still follow your path..
The manners you taught me
you helped me bring out the best in me
I still live on the pure love
you always gave me..
Through all the tears and struggles
all what you left behind still lives with me..

    This is a very heaertfelt greeting card type poem well written and well done. Don't sniff at that greeting card poetry is big stuff in some cases perhaps you should send it in.

    This is so touching and it brings up some loving thoughts of my own father, also now passed on. We did not always get along well, he and I, but your words here help me to see the 'bigger picture', if you will, all the 'tears and struggles'...thanks for sharing so lovely a piece. Peace always, Rhonda

    Beautiful!

    Such a wonderful tribute to a special soul. The message is so truthful of what is left here for us to cherish even through the rough times. Super poem! Don

    I think your father and mine would have agreed on many things sweetheart even though they lived on different sides of the world.

    Best wishes to you in the contest.

    Love Margaret
