Remember me

     I love you

 His dad looked  at him with red eyes,
 which made the boy realize,
 that his dad is doing his best,
 to give the little boy what he never had,
 he never had enough food on his plate,
 never came home on time, always came late,
 always seeing those kids with new clothes,
 made him realize he was all alone in this world with no one to comfort him,
 with  no one to tuck him in at night,
 his dad always made sure that his little boy feels safe and secure,
 makes him feel special, always tells him I love you,
 then one night, he told me that he's sorry,
 and  the little boy asks him for what,
 he looks him in the eyes and says, Son, I want you to know something,
 I want you to know that although our relationship isn't like the others,
 I want you to know that you're the best thing that's ever happened to me but one day,
 if I'm gone I want you to move on and carry on,
the little boy jumps out of bed and huggs his father,
and says daddy, one day you may be gone,but our love will always be here, in my heart.

Because of you

I never knew you,
It was always just me,
in this big world surronded by people yet always feeling alone,
the only family I had was my father,
but I always felt like that one flower,
who's petals were more darker and were all falling one by one,
because of you, I was all alone,
because you were never there,
not when I fell, not when I wanted to be tucked in,
you weren't there to tell me that everything was going to be all right,
and because of you, I always felt like that one boy,
that didn't have a proper lunch because his dad didn't know how to pack one,
his father didn't  know that I hate the crust and that I always throw it out,
he didn't know that I want a bit more cream cheese on my bagel and that I hate olives,
becasuse you weren't there,
where were you mom?
why weren't you here?
because of you I didn't know what it was like to have someone pick me up in their arms and tell me how much they love me,
because of you.

 Promise Me

The boy sits beside his father hoping to get a last chance to talk to him, to tell his father how much he appreciates all that he's done for him,
tell his old man that he's going to make something out of his life,
tell him that he's going to make him proud,
when suddenly his thoughts are disrupted by his father's cough,
the boy hurridly goes close to his father and asks him whats wrong,
his father replies by saying son, I'm dying,
but I want you to promise me something,
I want you to promise me that whatever we couldn't do together, I want you to do it with your family,
I want you to promise me that one day, your going to make a man out of yourself,
but most importantly, the old man quickly adds, like he knows that his time is coming,
I want you to remember that no matter what you do in life, I will always be looking at you from up above,
not noticing that a tear is falling down from his left eye and is rolling down his cheek,
the boy quickly cathes the tear before it travels down his father's neck,
and whispers in his ear, I promise dad, I promise.
