The Last Breath

Poem on father love

With son on his left and daughter on his right

Gracefully he cherished the last of his time

He met an old friend and wore that last smile

And prepared to leave everything in a while...

With strong pillars by his side

Slowly he closed his eyes

Calmed his heart from inside

And took a flight..too high...

Harder must it have been

Taking the last breath in

Hearing the call from within

Leaving behind everything...

So fast had he gone

No one could help along

Starting a journey too long

Accompanied tears and regrets strong...

Those blues and those cries

Hide under my skin,whenever I try

Weaken me from inside

Still I try not to lie...

"How the world looks up from there..."

I ask stars the night wears...

But no one answers the childish questionnaire...

Father...its your light... I still search every where...

Only your light... That helps when I am scared...
