Dad

You left us as the snow fell one cold December day Six years ago soon it will be Every Christmas since is not the same But God called you away that day I wish we had talked more when you were alive Stories of who you were as a child But you did not have a good childhood And it caused you pain to remember As a dad you worried to extreme I thought Even about things you couldn’t change I realize why after all these years You were afraid of death and loss You lost your father when you were a young teen And this changed your world forever Being the oldest your family depended on you So childhood passed you by I understand so much more now Dad Your sacrifices you made in your life I never thanked you for all you did So I hope you can read this from heaven In closing Dad I just want to say I love you and miss you every day Every time I watch a beautiful sunset I think of you and say thank-you
