A Moment of Silence

In a moment of silence

I was at my computer and I had not a care in the world, but on known to me I was about to get some of the worst news. I got a phone call from a very good friend who was once my girl friend, she told me that her father had died hours earlier. This was not what I needed at this time but neither did she and her family, but I knew this story well, I knew her and the man she called Dad very well.
I know that this is not the time to tell you of all the things this man did right or wrong, He was a good family man that I do know. But right at that time the only thing that came to my mind was how much I loved him and that he also loved me. The whole world just needed to know that this was a good man and that he is not suffering in this world anymore. Yes he was ill and not in the best of health but still you don’t think of how fragile life is; you just sometimes take it for granted that the ones you love will live forever no matter what happens. Well it hurts when you are wrong and that God helps and saves them from the pain that they were having, and there I am.
I cried and now that I have my moment to morn to put things in prospective I have to do this by myself, I wish that I could do this with the family, now I am torn wishing that I could be there for my friend and her family. I told her that I am going to put this in written form the way I feel and I was going to memorialize her father. So I worked on a poem that will be the point of up lifting my friend’s father, my father. He would have been my father and I have not let him go I still consider him as my father.

In a Moment of silence

I stand here in a moment of silence,
A midst all these somber thoughts;
Standing here not knowing or finding the words to say,
Imagining how you feel, at this moment all I can do is pray.

A tear as you go on your last journey,
This I do know.
This man of great worth,
A member of this beautiful family here below;

Hold steady dear love ones and dear friends,
This is just a moment of silence not the end.
Hold your hands over your heart,
He may be gone but he is not lost.

I know I loved him really deep,
I already prayed to God for him to keep.
And he himself repented for his bad and his good,
He did it right as we would have expected that he should.

So dear love ones and dear friends,
Release your tears and set yourself free.
This is a good in the end we all will see,
Shush! let us have a moment of silence, Please!
