PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Since you've been gone, it's been a while.

How quickly the time has passed.

It seems like yesterday I saw you smile,

A second since I spoke to you last.



The day you left me, my world fell apart.

For the first time, I was on my own.

There was no way to mend my broken heart,

And I felt so unbearably alone.



I think of you often through the years.

You meant the world to me.

You bandaged my scrapes and dried my tears.

You understood my struggle to be free.



So kind and gentle, yet strong, you were.

The best father I could ever have had.

Forever, I will be your little girl,

And you will always be my dad.



You visit me sometimes in my sleep,

Precious dreams that I treasure, and then,

I wake feeling your love surrounding me

And know that one day, we will meet again.



I'm much stronger now, and I'll be o.k.

I know that it was your time to go.

There's only one thing that I just have to say...

Daddy, I still miss you so.
