I wish You hadn't left

Walking down a long lonely road , with swaying trees on both side , i took small steps with a heavy heart , i felt lonely , i felt incomplete . All of a sudden i heard foot steps follow me . I felt scared , i felt helpless , i started walking faster and the footsteps following me became louder . I didn't know what to do , how to react . What was i suppose to do? i was 11 there wasn't much i could do , so i gathered all the courage i had in me and turned around ......... and to my amazement it was my father! I hadn't felt happier in ages . I ran into his arms and he hugged me tight ...... I missed the warmth of his protective hug , i missed looking into his brown eyes and feeling like the most loved daughter in this world , i missed HIM . I was seeing him after seven months . He looked good in his olive green uniform , well everyone looks charming in an army uniform but he was the worlds most good looking person for me . The fact that i looked like my father made me feel so happy ..... Just then i saw a red blotch of blood on his collar "What is this" i asked him but he just ignored my question and hugged me tighter . Then he stood up , held my tiny hands and started walking down the lonely road besides me and all of a sudden the road did not seem lonely at all. Very soon the road came to an end and we stood on the junction of our house . He came down on his knees , kissed my forehead and said "If u ever feel lonely and scared , all u have to do is turn back , and your papa will always be there for you" . He asked me to run home and said he would join us shortly . I ran home to tell my mother that dad was back from the border , but the moment i entered my house i heard my mothers painful cries . I ran into the hall and got the shock of my life! There lay my father .....Lifeless ...... he was shot in the neck ..... my mother looked at me and said "He's gone...forever" I ran back to the lonely road i yelled for my father , I screamed for him to come back , I sat there and cried

But this time ...... i was all ALONE

Time Just passes by….
I still remember those everlasting eleven years that I spent with the most important person of my life …… my father
 
Those days were the most wonderful years of my life ….. Those days when he first held my tiny hands and taught me how to write,
Those days when he read out my first story to me
The first time he came to my school for a parent-teacher meet.
I can never forget those days when I would sit next to the phone and wait for hours for him to call when he was away on the border fighting for the country , Searching for his face In the crowd on the railway station every time he came home for leave . The love , the affection , the tears were all returned to me in a six by two coffin , no more could I live under the protective shadow of a father , never again will I be able to smell the sweet scent of my father , never again will I be able to hug the pillow on which he lay , never again will I cry every time he went back on the border after a small holiday , never , because now …. he’s gone forever …. and all that I am left with … are memories…..
Memories will stay ….
People might not …

Some Clouds Don’t have a Silver Lining
 
Her Father stood proud and stood to make his country his home, safer for his children and the ones he loved. He was so proud and he loved them so, that he went forward to the heart of the trouble and sacrificed his blood to clean the wound that may have hurt his love.
But they did not understand and the weight of his burden lay on her mother, who took up his mantel, his cross to bear, and even when it got tough, even when the weight on her shoulders grew heavy she walked on. Through the storms, the tests through good and bad she continues to trudge only calling on the memory of his love to keep her going on.
She stood on the platform with her husband’s military colors glinting proudly in half light. She had come a long way and borne a lot, a single tear rolled down her cheek like liquid silver. She knelt before his memorial with her daughter besides her, she saw her life and all her aims” I did it for you my daughter and you alone” she said.
