Late into the night <br />I can hear the tears <br />I can feel his pain <br />I share in his fears <br /> <br />We must close our eyes <br />We must sleep tonight <br />May the dawn of a new day <br />Soothe scarred hearts in daylight <br /> <br />I awake to his lonely weeping <br />His moans an outcry of grief <br />He appears from that moment alone <br />Now slightly composed, but there’s no real relief <br /> <br />Today shall be as yesterday <br />Keep moving, he can’t keep still <br />If time is allowed to hang around <br />Its way too much time for his lost soul to fill <br /> <br />How I pray for the words to console him <br />I beg my mother to give me a sign <br />That cancer robbed us so suddenly <br />Leaving such a void in his world and mine <br /> <br />Alone, my father lives, day by day’ <br />Always busy his key to survival in life <br />From each dreaded daybreak to the close of dusk <br />When again on his own, he silently weeps for his wife <br /> <br /> <br />All alone he weeps <br />All alone he aches <br />I pray God grants him solace for him, alone my heart breaks<br /><br />Deb StevensHines<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-he-weeps/
