Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Dad

In the hospital by his side,

The two of us did say goodbye.

And moments later my Dad died.

Doctors and nurses came and I

Left Dad in the hospital and

Got in the car and drove away.

I knew that Dad would understand,

I needed be elsewhere that day.

It was not too long of a drive,

And during I tried not feel sad,

But good about being alive.

Dad taught me about being Dad.

I felt very right that I came

Watch my son play his soccer game.
