The Day My Father Died by Carol Eliassen

I wrote this right after my Dad died when I was fifteen.  I even turned it into my 9th grade English class as an assignment.  There was a lot more to it but this is all I remember. 


The day my Father died
I knew not what to do
It came and rained
The pain was vain
I knew the sadness too.

I looked upon his bed
And grew afraid to see his face
Or touch his hand as he did lay.

I loved this man you see
But I hid this love from thine beloved
I didn’t know how to show
Because I didn’t know he would go.

We never know when our last breath will be, so live it like your last, with lots of love, eternal peace, and plenty of hope. May this year be one where we stay faithful in reading his word, praying for his wisdom and knowledge, and truly love our neighbors as ourselves. Happy New Years 2025 y'all ❤️🎉🥳 make it the best year yet!
