Remembrance

Remembrance

I am the terrified child Longing for the comfort of my father’s soft hand. The tears rolled down my once rosy cheeks as he left to fill a filthy trench. The pain and sorrow in my heart would never heal. The day he left I would never forget. The day he left I felt sadness. The day he left I knew he wouldn’t come back. I am terrified child awaking in the dark, cold night screaming his name knowing he’s not here any more.
