• POEM
    DEDICATED TO MY DAD
    IN LOVING MEMORY OF Michael W. Carroll

    I look around and I wonder why… why is my dad dead why did he leave me like this, why do I keep asking these questions and not getting any answers?

    At night I lay awake wishing for him, wishing for his hug, his kiss and the way my dad loved me. He will always have a special place in my heart.

    I am wishing he was here with me right now to guide me to lead me to love me… to tell me everything is all right when I know that everything is not going to be alright, but still just to hear his voice telling me “don’t worry” would be the best thing in the world…

    He was my superman watching and guiding silently and pointing out when and where I did things wrong without even having to say a word. He was my best friend, he was my hero, he was my daddy, he was my everything. And now he is gone. Gone never to be seen or heard from on the face of the Earth again.

    The day I had to say good- bye was the worst day of my life. He was here one minute then gone the next. Riding in the car talking not really talking about anything just talking. He’s telling me about his childhood and all his injuries, and then one day he makes one bad decision and boom he is gone just like that. Like I said earlier he was here one minute gone the next just like that.

    I only got to get to no my dad for twelve years and the end my dads not here for my first heartbreak, my graduation, my marriage, my first child.

    The way he called me baby is one of the many things I’m miss about my dad another is his hugs. His big body covering mine, his big muscles holding me cradling me telling me “Don’t worry I will take care of you I will never leave you I promise” October 4th, 2008, was the day my dad broke that promise it was the biggest promise he had ever made he normally kept his promises but this was one exception. I don’t blame him God chose him that was the end.

    My dad was the greatest guy you would ever meet in your entire life. He was a one of a kind, a genuine, you might say…

    The End
