I Miss You, Dad
I hope that you can hear me, dad.
The ache today is strong.
I thought I saw a glimpse of you.
My mind tells me I'm wrong.
Some days this torture I can bear.
My memories ease the pain.
But soon my heart regains control;
Grief surfaces again.
Please know that I did realize
How fortunate I was,
That I could always visit you--
If only "just because."
I feel the bruising of your loss
Will remain blue and black.
Such pain can't fade to lighter hues
Since you're not coming back.
