INEVITABLE

INEVITABLE

Woe unto me!
To try the inevitable
Mine could have been a prayer
To such a promising father

Inscribed in my memories
Embedded in my brain
In the recesses of my minds
Glossy as they are
Are sights of his smiles

In a state of loss I am
I am being haunted
By smiles of compassion
Which were the sources of my pride


His caressing hands
Were fountains of solace
The source of my courage
And a refuge to my soul

I am a being rejoicing
Ever I remember his words
Words of blessings
As they were mumbled out
From that mouth of grace

I was at his bedside
When his last hours neared
In a frozen smile he turned
Tending to my side

Very frail and ill
There he showered me blessings
As I felt his cuddling hands
Deep to my marrow they sank

I was dejected
When the inevitable happened
My grasp was hard
When his bright eyes turned
In search of the spirit
As it finished its job

Mr Man & IHSAN, thank u 4 d flattering or it is flatenning(kidding) comments.

Mr Man INEVITABLE really happened, my poetry on a general note is my diary and I write by intuition. But FDQ may be right for I can never equal Charles Dickens, espicially those unmatcheable expressions enshrined in Oliver Twist.

Most Grateful I remain
