I Miss - What I Miss

I miss true friends,
today people want to have it their way.
I miss the ocean,
pretty blue waves with white caps.
I miss being a child,
when life was truly free.
I miss my dad, 
my hero and friend.
I miss my angel face,
my people in a fur coat.
I miss love,
the world once held.
I miss my home,
heaven my return is imminent.
