Feeling Helpless, Dad
Bitterness abounds
Don’t know why it is there
Angry perhaps?
Or can’t solve a problem?
Having a hard time accepting
My father is sick and in pain
No way can I ease it
Or take his illness away
Vexation rules
No way of ridding the emotion
With irascible thoughts
Stirring in a whirlwind
Fear stands near
Choking the positive light
Exasperating the truth?
Or wanting to lose faith?
Don’t want dad to be ill
Want the irritated organs healed
Agitated thinking
Muddles up confidence
Pessimism abides close by
Losing hope for good
How can I comfort?
Tell me father, I am afraid
