Three Days
I was fortunate to spend three days with my dad before his death on march 3, 2012. RIP |
-Three Days- by Keaton Foster  I arrived Unannounced You questioned, my son I watched you smile I answered, it's me I went to your side And held you close You held me closer I had traveled far Across the distance That has kept us apart You thanked me with your embrace An embrace that I am sure I will never forget I spent three days by your side We joked, we laughed, we cried You told me about the past I spoke to you about the future Little did either of us know That you were about to get The worst possible news News of an end that even you Could not possibly avoid After those three amazing days Before I forever walked away With an open heart, I said all that I was sure needed to be said You took each word to heart You wept for me and for yourself You said that you were sorry I assured you that there was Nothing that needed to be forgiven I was always proud to call you father I never for a second regretted us You assured me that I had done right That my life was worth more Than you could have ever hoped You told me that my two children Would grow to be amazing Such sincerity filled my heart Such words spoken by you Will echo for decades to come Our three days were over I had to go back to all that I know All that makes me feel safe I kissed your brow, still ignorant To the fact that you were about To face your certain doom I turned to walk away Just before I exited the door You called out to me, my son My once little boy all grown up into a man I will beat this, I will get better For those that I love most of all I assured you that for whatever the reason That I, and those who need you most Would be waiting for you Sadly, that was not to be the case Our time living under the same sun Would end twelve days later You are now forever at peace All of us that loved you remain For a time sadness will be our way But I know that for me such sadness Will ultimately be replaced with the Memories of you and those three days That we shared as father and son… R.I.P Dad 3/3/2012 Three Days Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2012.
