Love Poem: Dad

Dad

Out a windows ledge,horizen slowly fades.
Scores of others fled,it's time to turn the page.
He walks about the room,as silence fills the air.
And ponders of the gloom,tomorrow soon will bear.

The kids he has not seen,four years of utter pain.
The glass he walked to clean,to earn himself this name.
Shadows in his sleep,screams and cries and tears.
Floods upon his cheek,time fades but not his fears.

His country still at war,his children far away.
It drops him to the floor,upon the ledge to prey.
Their hearts and souls to know,that he has long since been sad.
The lord to soon allow,a hug for them from dad.
