A Father's Love

One year ago my life took a dramatic turn. Every.single.day I see the look on the Dr's face as he told me that my Father had passed away. Every.single.day I feel the lack of emotion for the first few moments and then the overwhelming sensation that my world was falling apart. My Father was the most amazing man in my life. I miss him. I've never missed anyone or anything to the degree that I miss my Dad.

August 9, 1935 - December 30, 2008

No words I write can ever say

How much I miss you everyday

As time goes by, the lonliness grows

How I miss you, nobody knows

I think of you in silence,

I often speak your name

But all I have are memories

And photos in a frame

No one knows my sorrow

No one sees me weep

But the love I have for you

Is in my heart to keep

I've never stopped loving you

I'm sure I never will

Deep inside my heart

You are with me still

Heartaches in this world are many

But I feel like mine is worse than any

My heart still aches as I whisper low

"I need you and I miss you so"

The things we feel so deeply

Are often the hardest to say

But I just can't keep quiet anymore

So I'll tell you anyway

There is a place in my heart

That no one else can fill

I love you so, Dad

And I always will
