For My Father

As you slept eternal
their remained
only one connection with this world –
in the corner of your eye
a tear lying unshed
Perhaps of a thought unsaid.
Perhaps of the many dreams.
You loved life.

I hope you can see
as I reach out across time
to wipe that tear;
to erase away all pain, all sorrow.
Sleep in peace and wake up free
never to return but to remain,
for you are now surrounded
by all those you missed and loved.
