Daughter teaches father

DAUGHTER TEACHES FATHER
By Raisa Polischouk

The waters are drowning me
All that’s left to feel is my heart beat
What once was flesh has now turned to ice
The weariness of the night shows no hope for salvation

All hope is gone
My mind can’t come to senses with the confusion
Of why I’m still fighting to live
Fighting for one broken breath

My mind can’t come to senses with how I got here
How my life slipped from my grip
My mind can’t come to senses with the question WHY???
Is there use for a scream in the night that won’t be heard?

Only now, as my life flashes before me do I realize…

It was you!!! It’s all so clear now
It was you my daughter who never lost hope
It was you who prayed even when there was no answer
It was you who sat and listened, even through the hardest times
It was your humbleness that healed me

Why I’m still fighting to live
Fighting for one more broken is because of you my love

It was you who still loved me when you were broken from my words
It was you who believed in miracles
It was through you that God chose to teach me

The irony in this amazes me
Daughter teaches father
It is you, it is me…you were made for me.
God only knows all our broken pieces.
