Like a lonely sunflower
I keep looking for my sun,
Anxiously searching everywhere
I wither when I find none
Is it sadness, anger, remorse,
or an unimaginable shock?
I crumble without the one
Who taught me to walk
You carried me all night
So I could get some sleep,
Life has stopped without you
I hide myself and weep
I haven’t stopped crying
Since the day you went away,
I have lost all my zest
I find no hope in a new day
Your presence gave me strength
Your words wiped away my tears,
Stranded in a storm without you
Now, I live with a constant fear
You were my joy, my confidence
My friend, my love, my lifeline,
Without you dear daddy
Your little girl can no longer shine
You ran behind my cycle
To hold me when I fall,
I can’t find you anymore
You don’t answer my calls
I want to write you a letter
And sing your favorite song,
There’s so much more I want to do
But you are suddenly gone
I wish there’s another world
Where I’ll sit with you forever,
Talking endlessly on everything
Sipping our favorite tea together
I look up at the stars
Clueless which one is you,
I secretly make a wish
So I can quickly meet you
I hope there’s another life
Where I’ll again find you,
YOU will live forever
Without ever bidding adieu
A parent’s love for a child is irreplaceable. I don’t have words to fill the void in your heart. Just a big (((HUG))).
I have been there in the same debilitating greif, hugs.
An emotional weave left me in tears. Love and hugs to you.
An emotional poem, filled with father-daughter love. I’m sure your dad is missing you too.
All the songs you play and words you weave are reaching him and he is sure blessing them too.
A love of a daughter for her father does not have even an equivalent replacement in life. Rashi you rock felt you through the lines.
A girls first love is always her Dad and your poem made me place a call to mine. Life’s greatest blessing and treasure are our parents and your poem captured your bond with your dad so beautifully. Where ever he is, I’m sure he’s looking down at you with pride and a big smile
😀
Can feel the pain and longing to meet him again…an emotional piece with an overwhelming grief in every inch of it…may you be blessed to overcome that grief, I know it’s difficult though Rashi
Hugs, Rashi. This is so touching. Losing a parent is a loss that can neither be replaced nor healed. Hope you find strength in the wonderful moments you shared together.
I so feel you in this poem. Such a heartfelt poem, i remembered my dad who too left without a goodbye. You wove the words so well
A big, tight hug to you, my friend! Though we can say a lot of words, I just want to say that every grief, every personal loss is purely different from one another. We all feel pain differently and sometimes it is best to feel it so as to be able to endure it. I wish you all my best wishes and I am sure, he is there around you always protecting his little princess and smiling whenever you are happy. Best regards to you. I am speechless because this poem is as beautiful as it can ever be!
This was such a poignant read. I’m sure he’s always there to watch his daughter, though some losses are irreplaceable. The golden memories have been portrayed so beautifully.
Touching poem, Rashi.
Yes, we terribly miss & secretly wish to meet our loved ones.
Wherever they are, their blessings and memories are with us.
We will surely meet them in our next life. There is rebirth and souls do meet.
Do wish- your last 2 lines were true & we’d never have to bid adieu…
What an emotional post. I can relate to it in so many ways. I wish these words would reach him. His love and his blessings are always there. Keep the amazing work going. Thank you so much for being a part of the #UMeUBlogHop.
What an emotional poem, Rashi. It must have been difficult to write. Glad you gave yourself the space and I hope it has been healing
You made me emotional with your heart-touching well-versed poetry. I am sure Uncle must be reading this and feeling so proud of his darling daughter. the line, “Now, I live with a constant fear” is so relatable, dwelling in the same zone. The only love that comes without any condition is “Parent’s Love”. I can feel you, dear!
I loved your straight from the heart composition sweetie, from the first line I had a premonition it was for your parent for I know the pain, my love, your pure unadulterated emotions just flew out, lots of love and hugs
Memories of a parent are always dear and each stanza in this poetry is filled with pure love and affection. Hugs to you Rashi.
Oh dear Rashi I wish I could give you a hug which wasn’t virtual after reading your poem. But you know what, which ever star he is…. even if you can’t find him he can find you and see you dear. And I am sure he is ready there with his cup of tea waiting eagerly for you to share it with him from where you are. So put on that cheerful smile of yours that your father adored of his dear little girl and go share that cup of tea with him.
A big hug to you. I can see and feel the pain but somewhere I feel it has made you a stronger person and that’s what every parent want to see their child. Father daughter bond and love is irreplaceable.
Your words made me cry, Rashi. No one and nothing can replace the loss of Parent. Hugs to you.
You made me cry Rashi. I felt all your words in my heart. It is beautifully expressed. I am sorry to hear about your loss.
Such a heart touching poem Rashi! None can replace parents and the innumerable acts of selfless love and kindness that they do for their children. Your words really touched the chords!
Woah!! Loved every single line you penned especially this one –
l look up at the stars
Clueless which one is you,
This took troll on my sentiments
Rashi am completely in awe❤ reading the write-up.
Stay blessed
Such an emotional poem Rashi.
“You ran behind my cycle
To hold me when I fall,
I can’t find you anymore
You don’t answer my calls”
These lines made me cry. Lots and love and hugs. Stay strong dear.
Amazing emotional piece… no one can take place of parents… innumerable memories with them of them…. The title got me hooked right away and then the poem…. Treat for an emotional poetry lover
I cried while reading this. I lost my father last year and because of COVID19 lockdown, I could not attend his funeral in Pune. Not being able to say goodbye was the hardest experience of my life. Truly, dads are so special. Thank you for writing this poem, it healed some part of me on some level.
Hugs, Rashi. The void is never filled. Time can’t heal and suddenly after they are gone, we keep remembering their fav food, song, place, dress, every single thing and the void never fills.
Lost my maa-in-law six months ago. We still had many more laughs to share, events to organize and what not.
Nice one.
