It was a year

ago today

that God called my

Daddy away

 

Hello Daddy

Can you hear me?

Sorry ‘bout when

you last saw me

 

It wasn’t you

that made me mad

I was hurting

and feeling sad

 

I could’ve stopped

not slammed the door

and said I Love

You just once more

 

But I didn’t, I

just kept going

All my guilt and

grief now showing

 

I wish that I

could take it back

I’m told that you

understand that

 

I dream of you

most ev’ry night

Wondering if

you know my plight

 

Love you Daddy

with all my heart

Writing now, my

hope to impart

 

Hear me Daddy?

I love you so!

See you when it’s

my time to go

      I feel he hears you only because that is what I truly believe as it relates to me. I am sorry for your loss. Beautiful and heartfelt poem to a poignant anniversary.

        WOW! I really don't have the words to express how this moved me but I think Damaged Souls comment sums it up. Just an amazing write, my heart goes out to you my friend.
