Blissfully Unaware

[Tiddlyjen]

As you lie amongst those coarse hospital sheets,
Battling bravely through your journey,
I go on blissfully unaware,

As you travel in and out for treatments,
Bombarding your body with poison,
I go on blissfully unaware,

As you talk and chat with me,
Sharing jokes when it hurts to laugh,
I go on blissfully unaware,

As you pass away in your sleep,
Having fought a long and painful journey,
I go on blissfully unaware,

As you go on blissfully unaware forever more,
I lie amongst my sheets, try and feel the pain and cry until it hurts,
Trying to fight a long and painful journey,
that you, my father fought before.

I have read this poem many times, but did not have the words to express how touching it is.

Thank you for sharing Jen

Feel safe in the fact that your dad is with you, and feels proud of you.
