An incredibly strong and emotional poem

May your father's final moments be blessed. Kate

And grace touch every moment that is left Never to know distress, worry, stress And when you close your eyes to rest one day the inharitance of love as flows all along the resonance when cradles the the soul grace when felt in the ripples of blood that flays the tears from the core of the heart being away.....................wonderful exaltation of filial love impeccable and the glory when blazed without distinction of time and space where ever we are, we sing the songs of our whole being by the genesis of self portrayal, yet poignant, tears gleans in the eyes as we remember the love of halcyon days hanging on the arms of father, the golden arms when mingled in the self rhythm.memoirs stiill dazzles the glory of love ingenious, great write,10++, thanks for sharing

This is a lovely tribute. I've added it to my favorites. I was close to my father too. (((hugs))) Shirley

Rani, this is a very touching poem from the heart.

Death a Preacher Teaches the 'Value of Loss' At the same time, reminds 'Value of Life'.

'And when you close your eyes to rest one day It might be to the sound of familiar footsteps I guess That you can follow without any fear in your heart; And to the sound of soft beloved voices, Maybe that is the way loved ones depart' heartfelt poem thanks for sharing

I have an aging mother. This poem almost made me cry... Thank you for the wonderfully tender way you wrote it... I never had a dad, he died when I was very young. This poem seems to be written for a father? Am I right? Karin

acceptance of the inevitable is no so easy but you do it gracefully

sublime, powerful emotion any father would be proud to have from a daughter...the words have so nicely arranged themselves to cup the emotion.not a dropp has spilled over... ..

As you have said, Rani, we share an image here, which I put down independently in 'My Father'. It's sad to see changes in your parents and you can only hope and wish for a peaceful lead up to the end. This is very expressive and ture to natural feeling.

Outstanding poem Rani. I am giving you a 10 for this poem.

It is a remarkable piece and very thoughtful though.. thanks.

Lovely piece nice content and warming to the soul 10 Chris

What a beautiful poem, the imagery was superb in the first stanza. The closeout makes it all the more poignant. HG: -) xx
