Consider It Done

This is the story, of an old man
Who had everything in his hands
But when everything came to him,
He just watched all fade…

Consider it done…
He told me words so simple, yet elegant
“Don’t dream of something you cant reach,
Don’t accomplish what people will hate you for
Don’t become what I have forewarned…
Consider it done…”

My father held me, the moment before he passed
Then he told me, that the world would never crash
That all of us would become what we should be
That my brothers would love me
To take care of my mother, she was everything to him
Consider it done…

After the funeral, I stayed by his grave
Cried my eyes out and became weak and brave
I rose up, and clasped my mothers loving hand
”Never forgotten, never left in the dark”
Consider it done…

He said;
“Don’t cry, your tears wont bring me back,
Don’t lie, your feelings can never hide,
Don’t push me away, I will always be in your hearts,
Don’t feel sorrow, I am always watching over you,
Consider it done…”

He held me, in the moment I should have held him
looked into my eyes, and I could swear he saw himself
