Notes About The Poem

 

This goes out to all the amazing fathers, grand fathers, step fathers God fathers and any father figure( whether it’s a coach uncle or 
family friend). I believe Father’s Day is every day. My father passed away over a decade ago.Remeber to tell your father as often as you can how much  you love and appreciate him. We often think we have a lot of time to spend with our loved ones. But the truth of the matter is we don’t. Time goes by in a flash!!!

 

 

A Message From a Daughters Heart

I think about you often, you were the first
man that I ever truly loved.
I never doubted how much you loved 
me.
You were a big part of my world, It was 
a joy being around you.
The day you left, my world went dark and
crumbled.
I had to learn how to live in world without you,
because I knew I was never going to get
over you.
How could I? When part of me left with 
you.
In hindsight, I wish I would have told you 
that I loved you more, hugged you more, 
and called you more.
But nevertheless, I know you knew how 
much I loved and adored you.
The one thing that saddens my heart is 
your grand kids( my kids) didn’t get the 
honor and privilege to know you.

I’m wishing you a heartfelt Father’s Day 
from my spirit to your spirit!

Jennifer Proxenos July 29, 2020 at 9:36 AM Alexis you brought tears to my eyes. It is as if I wrote this poem for my dad whom I also adored. I also reprimand myself for not telling him often enough but as you say, he knew. I was glad that my son had 8 yeas with my Dad and I was divorced at that time, so my father was Ricky's father - they were inseparable. At his funeral he said a prayer and had us all in tears and helped to carry out the coffin. Kudos Alexis. Blessings my friend and hugs, Jennifer.
