| stages of one (memorable stages of my life read to my dad the night before he died) |
| by bennet |
Can you pick me up with one hand again dad, your so strong. Please don’t throw it so high next time that really hurt. Are we there yet , are we there yet dad? Please don’t argue it makes me so sad. Please buy me that scooter dad, I promise ill be good. That soap tastes terrible I wont do it again. Can I please have 20.00 dad? Can I please use the car again? Im sorry about the insurance bill dad. I hate my life and everyone in it. My names bennet, that’s who I am This is the last time ill sleep under your roof pop. I need your help pop
Im sorry we fought pop I got married pop to a wonderful girl. Were pregnant pop. Her names Jenna Im sorry your sick pop Im sorry you don’t feel good dad. Geeze dad you look like crap. Jenna say I love you to grandpa Jenna say nite-nite grandpa You look so weak dad, I don’t know what happened. Look dad Ive got the same tattoo as you. Can I wake up from this dream now, I just wanna ask him if we can go out for a coffee now, I promise ill stay as long as you do dad, ill even have a second cup. You rest, ill be right here, ill hold you like you held me. As you held me and brought me life, so shall I hold you at the end of yours. Together braving the unknown. I don’t know about you but im scared dad. I love ya
I don’t know what im gonna do without you. Im so scared Im so sorry. Go find Nanna and Uncle Tommy their waiting for you by the tree. Put down your cane and follow the stream. Drink from the water when you get thirsty. When you find them tell them I miss them. Look for me when its time. I may look alittle different when you see me but inside ill be the boy who misses his dad and wants to play catch one more time, See I kept my glove dad.
Can we play? Just don’t throw it so high. |
