Already gone

Already gone Is a new poem Written by Aldo Kraas

Already gone

Now that the Summer ended so fast

The birds already gone

South for the winter

I find that is very sad to see

The birds migrating south for the Winter

We will no longer hear the birds sing to us

Also I will miss the birds every single day

During the winter

Now its very cold outside

Yes I still go for walks during the winter

Of course I dress warm when I go out

In the winter

I wear also my Winter jacket

And my winter boots

At 5:00 pm it gets darker

And the night arrive by then

Also when the clock tells me

8:00 pm I go to sleep

Every night

Because I am tired by then

And I sleep all through the night

I never get up in the middle

Of the night

I also had a very deep sleep

The next day I used to get up early

And I get ready to start the day

First I shave my face the old fashion way

With a razor and some shave cream

I have a certain age now

I am no longer young

But only in my heart I still young

After I finished shaving

I went to have a shower

I rub the soap in my skin

And the soap removes the dirt

From my skin

When the shower was over

I dried my body with the bath  towel

Then I get dress into my casual clothes that

My father had given to me

Every single day

Today I looked out of the window at

My living room

And we got our first snow storm

I stay at home

And I did some work for my father

Because I still had

Lots work to catch up

I turned my computer on

Then I started to write

Lots of poems for my father

And today at 9:00pm I had

Finished the work for my father

Then I turn my computer of

And I went straight to bed

To sleep

Because I was already feeling exhausted

It was many years ago that my father had chosen me

To be his poet

And that made me very happy

To be my father’s poet

Also it was my father that made me

The men I am

I am a disable men

I finally got used by being a

Disable men

Also my father placed me to live here on earth

I must tell you father

That I been blessed by you father

Every single day

Also father I am always praying for you first thing

In the morning when I wake up

And in my prayer I ask you father

To give me more health and peace

And finally my father had given me more health

And some peace

Because I just don’t have any peace in my life

I am always worried that some thing horrible

Could happen to me

Please father just let me live for now

My life to the fullest

Every single day here on earth

Father I am happy with the things you gave me

In my life

Also I don’t need anything also from you father

You had given my life and I am very happy with my life

My father you also had given me the gift of health

And I have some health issues my mental illness

I must say father that I am responsible for my health

Every day

I also take lots of medications for my mental illness

Morning and night

I never miss a dose of my medication

Also I am not a rich men my father

I am living with little money

Every single month

Also father I must tell you that

I don’t care for money

Because if I had lots of money

I would have been a slave of my money

And the rich people would love me

For my money

Father I am happy with the simple life

That you created for me

And that life I live every single day

Here on earth

My father I have to stretch my money

Every month

In order for me to make my money last

When I have too much money in my hands

I spend it like it is water

And then I become broke the next day

My father I must tell you that I hate to be broke

I seen too many poor people sleeping in the street

And I know that If I am not careful with my money

I will end up living on the streets

Father please don’t let that happen to me

Father

Also father you only give me gray sky

During the winter

Also my depression gets very bad during the Winter

Also I have a hard time getting out of bed during the

Winter

Also I have no energy to do nothing

During the winter

I always get the morning blues during the Winter

My father I must tell you that I hate the Winter

Also the winter is very long

And the Summer is very short

Father I am waiting for you to end the Winter

And bring soon the Spring

When the birds will be back home

Father I miss the birds very much
