Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday Dad
Thats what i'd say,
If only i could,
If there was a way.

To hear your voice
To see your smile,
To sit with you
For just a while.

Thers lots of things
I'd like to say,
If only i could,
If there was away.

Instead i'll just look
Into the dark starry night,
Happy birthday Dad,
Sleep ever so tight.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Mark, I can relate to this poem very strongly. I miss mine, too!
