Now What

Devastating
Heartbreaking
Losing a parent
No pain is comparable

When's the last time you spoke to your dad
Can you even remember
Were the words pleasant
Had you made him proud

Now what

Who will be your rock
Who will hold you close
Who will love you unconditionally
Who will walk you down the aisle

How will you go on
Gaping wound in your heart
A missing part of your soul
How will you function

So I go home
And I hug my own father
Avoid my greatest fear
Thank the One Above

And now life will stop
For an entire family
A dynasty he created
Children will be fatherless

Crying
Mourning
Tears
Sadness

Now what

What is the message
Erev Rosh Hashana
Decreed from above
Gone

Now what
