Accidental Poet

Three Years to the Day

 

Three years ago today

We had to let you go

I said this is not good-bye

We’ll see each other again you know

 

Three years to reflect

On what you mean to me

So hard to prepare for

That day that came to be

 

A day I’ll not forget

December 27, 2021

The day I became

Your grieving son

 

Your Veteran’s flag

With respect they handed to me

Holding back the tears

Instead, my pride all could see

 

And now three years later

An everlasting pride

Of a son’s undying love

His deepest well inside

 

Love you dad
