I Miss You Dad

On this particular day, four years ago,
a huge piece of my heart departed with an amazing soul.
Days turned into months and months turned into years,
a shattered heart is plastered with silent tears.

They say that time will heal and the pain eventually fades away. 
But here I am four years later still awaiting that day.      
Days turned into months and months turned into years,
yet my fears & loneliness have still not disappeared. 

It’s difficult walking around with a smile upon my face.
Pretending that everything’s okay on this earthly place.     
Your memories will remain forever etched in my mind.                                                                                                 Reliving those priceless moments convinces me that I will be fine. 
 
So many new memories created as life passes by.
I keep wishing you could be here even for just a while.
I miss you been there to protect me or catch me when I fall.
I wish heaven had a phone for me to make those calls.  

I miss you so much Dad, more than words can even say.
I wish you were here to convince me that everything turns out okay.
Days turn into months and months turn into years
I still despise the fact that you’re no longer here.

A7, this is a great heartfelt poem. I lost my father when I was 15 in 1969. It totally destroyed me for 17 long years, until my daughter was born. I then shook off that yoke and lived again for her.. Love this write, adding this poem to my fav poem list and thanks!

Sasha, there is such pain in your words, an emotional write that I do understand, I lost my father in 1997 suddenly and don't believe that time heals because for me it could be today, I am rating this poem 7 for the emotion factor and thanks for visiting my poem, a penny. . .

I read this because I read the title. Thank you for putting into words the way that I am feeling also. I lost my Dad suddenly at 82 a year and a half ago. May your fathers memories keep you safe and strong. Peace. :)
