The taken. , by eleanor maslen

No one had a right to cry,
the way we did the day you died.
The pain in you was no life at all,
and at the last hurdle you had to fall.
We didnt believe that you had gone,
We thought deep down your life went on.
As they put you in the ground,
We sang for you we sang out loud.
I was a child with no understanding,
of what they meant with 'daddy's passing'
I called to you i shouted your name,
Like that would make you live again.
My mother wept every night i heard,
The pain of grief at 11 i learned.
Thanks for the memories you gave to us,
Sorry for what you took, the love the trust. |
