Not The Day

The Day we said Goodbye to my Father

Walking into the room I look around
The flowers and pictures are all in place
Everything is quiet to quiet
Slowly one by one everyone files in
Passing along a few words and smiles
Walking over I slowly lower my eyes
Watching you knowing it will be the last
Holding back tears of hurt and sorrow
Smiling softly I kiss your head whispering
"I love you daddy"
As a tear trails down my face
Walking away slowly I cant hold back the tears
As they close the lid to your coffin.
