Poem#1- Fear of Graduation Without My Dad


Walking down the aisle
while the principal is calling me up
to get my diploma
a white light flashes toward me
as my eyes are burning and tears are falling down my face

Looking back at the memories
of me and my dad
watching a screen of people
fighting in a war
and the channel gets changed

I go up onto the stage
and I get my diploma
with a smile on my face
realizing he's watching me
from a place
that has clouds and angels
and everything is perfect

Knowing one day
I'll be there too
