To my dearest daughter from Dad x

I am channelling my last few thoughts
Through Rex who I came to know
In my last hours he helped me really helped me
throw
some passion into how
I felt
a lost soul crying out
For help but so few hearing me
or knowing what I was about

The pain was like a heavy drum
Beating in my head
I couldn’t see a spark of light
I had wished that I was dead
To be so helpless, so alone
Only my daughters hand
Soft in mine
Made the sun shine
And helped me understand

you always had the softest touch
Ever since you were a child
My journey was never easy
But you my dear beguiled
Me with your totally loving heart and and warm and gentle soul
So to feel you very close to me
I did I felt so whole

You brought me so much solace
So much comfort that you were there
A cushion against harshness
Carried the despair
Brought me through buried the misery
Of being on my way
Intensified
For you by my side
Helped me not to stray

Goodbye my dearest daughter
My blind eyes they could see
My deafened ears could hear you
There in front of me
As The finality of leaving
Became evident to me
Your vitality and optimism
Helped to set me free

Enlivened me
Just bucked me up
I felt resolute and strong
Though pain of course entrapped me
I knew all along

You loved me and I loved you

Good bye darling. X
