I Missed Them All Today

I missed my wife today while she had to be away. Realised how lonely I’d be if she wasn’t here with me. Without her love and smile life wouldn’t be worthwhile I missed my wife today. I missed my children today seeing them happily at play. Sunny days and ice creams bedtime stories before dreams. They’ve grown and moved on now my little ones are gone. I missed my children today. I missed my father today working Monday to Friday. Taking us out on Saturday. preaching in church on Sunday. Taken from us far too young long before his life was done. I missed my father today. I missed my mother today busily getting through the day. Dinner cooking, smelling good afternoon read when she could. Never a moan, often a smile looking after us, all the while. I missed my mother today. I missed them all today.
