Very touching poem.

Do you have this set to music? I would love to hear it.

Great transition from your leaving for school and his passing. You made it one unified whole.

Sorry about your father's passing.

Keep on writing.

    Thank you so much for your kind review. I do have this put to music and should figure out how to share that too. This song really helped me grieve my fathers passing.

    Can you add the video to the poem. I have seen it done and have enjoyed it very much.

    (You can see I love music and creative projects that are inspiring and uplifting.)

this is beautiful, katie, a great job writing this poem about the way a father wants his daughter to call when she gets there and then it's turned around where she's telling him goodbye.

Whilst reading through your work I was filled with a complex mixture of emotions, including, admiration, despair and delight. What a beautiful poem to have written about your Father. Truly precious.

I think we all have the same feeling or request when a loved one passes , Wouldn't it be great to know they were there safe and sound and happy.

Your author notes are superb-you have good imagery and a good flow with your poem-you rhyme well and I am sorry about the loss of your Father-you keep the readers attention from the first line as you take me on a journey and I love where you write(He trust her to God's care) a powerful statement for your Father must have been a God fearing man and believe in Him--well penned--great job.
