Dad

I remember spending time with my dad

A top laugh he was and great times we had,

I never realised how tough it must have been

Working for a pittance supporting the family,

Yet he still found time to hang with me regularly

Talking words of wisdom and encouraging me,

To challenge every thing that he and others said,

I miss him so much now and have since his death,

It’s true that you never get over losing loved ones from your life

Leaves whole in your heart about a mile wide,

And that emptiness never gets filled

Now he lays in peace and his busy hand are now still,

But the memories still remain

But it gets harder to remember that as they fade,

Due to busy times and as we age

But the fact he was my dad, that will never change,

And s legend he was I must say

I look forward to being reunited one day,

Where we can share top fun and laughs again

In a different time and age.
