Forever and a Day

[alongtimegone]

We sat within the quiet;
my dad and me that day.
And I wished that we could sit like this
forever and a day.

He was trying hard to tell me
that he had to go away.
He said, “But I’ll still love you
forever and a day."

"See - your mum and I have spoken
and it’s I who can not stay."
he said, “But I’ll still love you
forever and a day."

I didn’t understand of course
all that he had to say.
But I knew my heart would ache for him
forever and a day.

Sad - You capture a common problem in todays world. I reckon so many kids go through this but is it better for them to have parents who are constantly fighting ? I personally don't think so

[Shelley Hansen]

The sad reality in so many families in this challenging world.

You've captured the emotion so well, Wazza.

Cheers, Shelley

Children will never understand the reasons why. A decision made in the best interest of the child is never a decision made by a child.

Nicely expressed, Wazza.

[Catherine Lee]

Very well captured Wazza - the simplicity of this poem highlights the sadness.
