Saying Goodbye

Waving goodbye to my father as he sailed away,
The ship travelled along the corrugated waves,
Soon he will vanish, and camouflage into the crowd.
As the ship made distance, the waves got larger,
I took a blink,
I felt a tear run down my cheek.
As I opened my eyes the waves were immense,
Crashing down onto the microscopic men,
The ship was capsized,
A bunch of men were racing to shore,
Fighting for their lives to survive.
As the men got closer, my father was no where to be seen,
My eyes started to tear.
