DAD

jayb_garang

I still miss you every day,

Memories of you keep playing on my mind,

They are still fresh and I get sad every time it replays,

I feel alone most of the time,

How are you though, I hope you are still watching over us,

I am sad most of the time,

The last time we spoke deeply you told me not to give up this early,

I feel like life is giving up on me though,

Your death left me dazed, I am still processing it,

I still miss you every day,

I learnt how to drive your car, hope you saw me reversing it like a pro,

I missed you on the passenger seat though,

I am trying to live a good life, I pray twice a day and read the word,

Its the only thing that keeps me sane and makes me sleep each night,

I see a bright star each night, I feel it's you shining down upon me,

Is everything all right up there?

How are you fairing on?

I still miss you every day,

Life is not the same without you,

Tomorrow will start without you and I have to live with that for the rest of my life,

We are trying to hold up, I still remember you fondly,

I remember trying to resuscitate you,

It breaks my heart knowing I was not there in your time of need,

I hope you are resting, you did a whole lot for all of us,

We thank you for everything you did for us while here,

Hope we meet again,

I still miss you every day.

    Wonderful emotive write but be assured he is with you every day, as is mine who died 25 years ago this year.
