Dad I miss you so very much
The talks we had when times were tough
You stood beside me along the way
Never once did you walk away
Forever loving and gentleman
Gone home with God I understand
Life has a way with twists and turns
It is a part of the lessons one must learn
A sadness comes in my heart each day
When I look in the mirror I see your face
I miss talking to you with each trail and error
As I think of younger days you brushed my hair
Forever my hero, forever my friend
God broke the mold that he made you in
Many times I look for a man like you
But I know in my heart that just won't do
I would give anything in this lifetime to see you again
To touch your face, to hold your hand
I have tried so hard to make you proud
I honor your memories forever your here
Deep in my heart you are within me
You gave of your life so easily
Never looking back you did your job
Not faultering once you were at odds
A single father you raised me to do my best
As you can see in my life with tenderness
Loving, kind and forever with me
God took you away, but in my heart you'll be

I miss my dad so very much with death so many things in life are final and this has been the hardest thing in my life to ever do yet! You think with time it gets easier but I am not so sure as that for there are so many things like the first Father's Day, was truly hard as that was less than 3 weeks after dad had passed and it was a bitter sweet day knowing he was no longer suffering but yet not being able to see him tell him I love him and just to hear his voice. Now with the birth of my 3rd grandchild to be born any day it is another hurdle yet to cross our family. Then the holidays are coming up fast it has just made me realize how precious life is and when you have the chance to tell someone that you love them you should do that or if you have any time in your life you should make sure to call or visit as much as possible cause when they are gone they are forever gone and there is no changing that. Live life with no regrets and makes sure to forever tell the ones you love exactly how you feel every day and never part being angry at anyone for you may not get the chance to tell them you are sorry or make amends. I thank God every day for the people in my life and hope that each and everyone of them know how I feel!! Love to you all!!
