Dearest Dad

It hardly seems, I only see you my dreams,
I’ve seen a lot of you of late, but yesterday escaped.
I totally forgot, though I can’t believe,
June 17th came, and I forgot to grieve.
That day 6 years ago when you left my side,
Your spirit soared to way up high.
I want you to know, that not one day goes by,
That I don’t forget that you have died.
I type it yet I don’t accept,
I still hold the tears not yet wept.
So I put this out there to remember,
My thoughts of you so warm and tender.
I hope you’re well and doing fine,
I hate that it’s just my mind.
Convincing me that you’re still near,
And that you can hear,
My thoughts my dreams my sighs my prayer,
That you will always be there.

I love you Daddy. Never forget.
