I miss you dad

I remember the day you went away, I love you so much, why couldn't you stay?? Heaven gained a mighty good soul, I wish we were playing football again, with you in goal. Your grandchildren also miss you ever so much, life when you passed just got so tough, I hated seeing your lifeless self, so cold, so stiff, nobody could help, 

For weeks and weeks it felt surreal, it's been five years now, it's definitely real, I'd give my own soul up just to see you for one day, but then my good friend, my kids, I'd be taken away, we speak and reminisce about you all the time, it's life after death, you were mine, not just mine but your other sons too, I wonder if they also think so much of you?

I know my mum found it hard, to give up her soul mate, to just discard, I still visit the place we dwelled, I went off the rails a bit, I think I even yelled, we scatter your ashes down the beach, it wasn't my idea, I did try and preach, nothing could take the pain away, why did you leave, why couldn't you stay?? 

I love you dad more than words can say, I miss you dad more and more each day, the first few weeks you left I think I just wept, I just sat in my home for weeks I just wept, it's getting g easier as time goes by, even to this day I have a little cry, Im in jail dad if your looking down, I haven't done anything so please don't frown. 

Your grandkids mum is ruining my life, an she wonders why she will Never be my wife, we used to talk for hours and hours dad, without you here I'm so so sad, I'm just glad your not in pain, I know it's your tears that's in the rain, I normally ask people to read my poem, but this one is for you so I won't show em.

There will come a day I get writers block, until that day I'm not going g to stop, I've got so much stuff on my mind, I really miss you dad you were so kind, I'm sorry to hear about your mum, your brother rang me and asked us to come, I visited the house where you grew up, it must of been hard all 6 couped up.

I've sseen the pictures in Bassett museum, your grandad and dad are there you should see them, emigrating to Canada on the boat, that's my claim to fame I like to gloat, I've been in tears writing you this, your my dad who I truly truly miss!!
