My Second Father

[Angelamongsociety]

Everytime I would go to your house, you would always smile at me and tell me jokes.

If I said I wasn't hungry, you would still make me eat anyways. you said I needed to gain some extra weight.

I was there, the day you died and you seemed perfectly fine.

The only complain from you was that your acid reflux was kicking in again, so you couldn't eat.

I gave you a kiss on the head and told you I love you and see you next time.

Only next time never happened because 20 minuets later God took you away from me.

I remember sitting in the hospital with your daughters and you wife.

The doctors said you had a massive heart attack and tryed to come back three times.

At your funeral, I stood there looking into your coffin.

You were so cold and stuff, yet you still looked the same, peaceful and serene.

I gave you one last kiss on the head and told you good bye before they put you in your grave.

I knew at that very second how much you meant to me.

You were like my second father and I never got to tell you that, not even once.

So goodbye my daddy and I hope to see you again one wonderful, glorious day.

I really love this. He knew that he was like a second dad to you. He was a very sweet person and he always made be people smile and feel loved. I love you and hope that you understand that he knew, even if you didn't tell him.

Wow! I have a dad like that. Well technically he was my adopted dad. I love him dearly but I have never had the chance to tell him that. He is an awesome person. My dad died when I was five, and my mom had a long string of boyfriends after he died. I went into foster care and when I was 17 I moved in with this family who adopted me into their family. I love them all, especially Tom because he did so much for me when he really didn't have to. I don't know what I would do if he died. You will see him again, and he is watching over your right now. Great work on this poem! " only complain " complain should be complaint... other than that nothing else stood out that needs fixing...
