This is a poem I wrote, trying to focus on a particular moment or time with my dad. So far what I had written in poems was more..abstract, feelings. I decided I wanted to try a different approach.

"The Last Time"

by Chai

The last time she saw him
The door was open wide
The last she saw him
His smile opened her up inside.

She sat down by the bed
Wanted to say, dad I love you so
But she put on a brave face
And tried to prepare to let him go.

His blue eyes were glowing
His laughter filled the air
She wanted to cry, don't leave me
Let her tears fall in his hair

Instead she was joyful by his side
They talked into the night
She wanted him to be strong
And fill his heart with light

The last time she saw him
She didn't say goodbye
But she can tell his spirit now
'I'll meet you in the sky.'

The Hill, the Afternoon—
Squirrel, Eclipse, the Bumble-bee,
Nay—Nature is Heaven. "
