Your poem was really great. I myself have never lost a parent and i feel sorry for whoever has because it is painful thing. I could never imagine losing a parent because i know how i feel when i lost some of my friends.

I do not no what it is like to loose a parent. But one of my friends is cripled and can barely walk from cancer he is in a wheel chair just the other day he had turned 12. About 3 days later his mom passed away from a heart attack. It touched me greatly for the things that i have. I am sry for anyone that has lost a parent. Its one of the hardest things that can be given to a child.

I lost my Father on February 24th 2002. I could'nt find the words to say what I wanted, they just would not come out. But, these somewhat seem to say what I want. Thanks, it is a great poem.

Deana. That was a beautiful tribute you paid to your daddy. I was 12 when my daddy died. He had suffered 3 years from a stroke. That was 46 years ago and it still seems like yesterday. He will always be with you in your heart.

Deana Powell your poem is heart touching to everyone who comes in contact with this poem. i am 12 years old and lost my dad on June 18 2000 fathers day just a couple of dayS after my birthday. He was in a car accident with 3 other people from toronto he was thrown from the car 36 feet! His car was totaled right in front of his house. In fact i was packing my stuff to go and see him that day cuz i didn't see him for 3 years.And i got a phine call saying that the only reason that i could see my dad again is to see his ashes be burried to ever lasting peace! Yes he was creamated cuz he was to badly damaged to have a casqet!When i read your poem it touched my heart and i felt that i was communicating with my daddy. your poem inspired my heart to write my own poem about my dad! I read your poem at his funeral but i did say that you wrote it! It is really hard to see my dad gone or 2 even know that he is gone! I know exactly what you are feeling! Maybe we will meet sometime but won't even know it! I give all my sympathy to you and to all those people who loose someone they truly love. MAY OUR FATHERS REST IN PEACE FOR ETURNITY! DADDY MAY YOUR SOUL BE CHERISHED IN MY HEART FOR EVER LASTING LIFE!
