Father's Day 2016
It's Father's Day again,
but you aren't here.
There's no card to be bought;
no phone call to be made;
no visit possible.
I miss you, Dad.
It's been three years since I've heard
your voice speak my name;
three years since I've seen your smile;
three years since I've hugged you tight
and felt your kiss upon my brow.
I miss you, Dad.
All I have are my memories of you:
memories of your laughter,
and your droll sense of humor;
memories of special times spent together;
memories of the man I loved
and knew as "Dad".
But you can't hug a memory.
I miss you, Dad.
Happy Father's Day.
