Remove those feelings of regret <br />Relax - be clear of mind <br />Make light of loss and grief, my son <br />For the future will be kind. <br /> <br />Remember i was once like you <br />Young and hopeful - setting out <br />Then time rolls by and so you find <br />Some hopes replaced by doubt. <br /> <br />That this will happen i am sure <br />Those times when you may fear <br />That you have maybe lost your way <br />But i shall be always near. <br /> <br />It is now time to say farewell <br />My eyes are closing fast <br />Just hold my hand and look at me <br />For these words may be my last. <br /> <br />(son) <br /> <br />I do not like you dying now <br />For a part of me dies too <br />A feeling in my heart of pain <br />And not knowing what to do. <br /> <br />I do not want to see you there <br />Just lying on that slab <br />I want you to be young again <br />And continue being my dad. <br /> <br />(father) <br /> <br />But you too will get old, my son <br />And grey and frail of limb <br />So breathe in softly and just say <br />I was so loved by him.<br /><br />David Keig<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-was-so-loved-by-him/
