Dad-
You will be in my heart forever. What a precious and loving father you were to me. Here is a poem I have written in your memory:
DAD
I will miss you.
The history, the story,
The days of our glory
Back when.
I will miss you.
The ways you encouraged
When I was down hearted.
And helped me get started–again.
I will miss you.
No ounce of intention,
No measure or mention
Can bring you back now.
I wade through the pain.
There’s nothing to gain.
But glad in the knowledge
That you rest in peace.
I feel a new calm
Knowing you are with Mom.
In this I move on.
But I miss you.
From clutter to clear.
From distant to near.
You’re unique.
U–nee-quu!
Yes, I miss you.
“Praise God!” or “Be damned!”
You outstretched you hand.
There’s no choice I have
But to miss you.
Mr. Man About Town
Your jokes are renown
Retold until new
And I miss you.
I entrust you to God.
To His House–Our Lord.
All the while with a heart
That will miss you.
Allelujah, amen
Allelujah, again
Allelujah, dear Dad
I will miss you!
