Greatly Missed

A Fathers touch, A Daddy's kiss,
 A grieving Daughter, You're greatly missed.
 
An empty house, An empty chair,
 A fathers love, No longer there.
 
A broken heart, Tear filled eye,
 Another soul to fill the sky.
 
Many memories in my mind,
 Some I laugh, Some I cry.
 
The times we shared, The laughs we had,
 Things I miss when I think of you Dad.
 
Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,
 Only memories, Of what once was you.
 
Missing your laugh, I will never again hear.
 That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.
 
No more smile on your face,
 No more warmth of your embrace.
 
The last hug, The last kiss,
 The last "goodbye" leaves me with one last wish...
 
To have you Dad, here today,
 Never to leave your Daughter this way.
 
A Father's touch, A Daddy's kiss,
 A grieving Daughter, YOU'RE GREATLY MISSED!
