Dad
Sad you see
Wished it’d been me
Never felt the rain
For all the pain
River wide
Closed my eyes
Sent up a prayer
Like a beggar
On the street
Stood up
As you went by
Sat down
And said,
“Goodbye”
Laid down
In a field of stone
And dug
A trench
To put the tears
17 years
Underground
And still
I wait
For a single
sound
